Essentially, the new technology enables drivers to immerse themselves in an augmented virtual world, while still being able to drive and be behind the wheel. This is achieved by a pioneering pair of virtual reality goggles paired with precision GPS tracking. Only two MINI Cooper Electrics in the entire world (at the time of writing) are equipped with this avant-garde system. They go by cute names too - Jim and Jill.

Experiencing The Future Of Driving With MINI Mixed Reality

MINI debuted its "MINI Mixed Reality" technology at the international media launch of the all-new MINI Cooper Electric in Sitges, Spain.


MINI's first attempt at building an EV was well, a little bit mixed. Yes, the MINI Electric was agile and had a cosy interior, but the range was frankly pathetic, and it couldn't charge up very quickly. So, back to the drawing board, and this is attempt number two. The push towards electrification is a necessity driven by stringent regulations demanding a significant increase in the number of electric vehicles globally. MINI is stepping up to the plate, with last year’s electric sales making up 14% of its total.
