Land Rover reveals a new technology that makes the hood of the car appear invisible. 

The discovery vision concept, also known as the transparent bonnet, is a new design by Land Rover that allows the driver to see what's under and in front of the car without having to look anywhere else but straight. 

The purpose is to help those behind the wheel avoid any obstacles or hidden objects. 

"We are developing the transparent bonnet to give drivers an augmented view of reality to help them tackle anything from the toughest off-road route to the tight confines of urban car parking," Wolfgang Epple, Director of Research Land Rover said. 

Cameras located in the vehicle's grill capture data or images used to feed a head-up display, which creates the see-through effect. 

This allows a person driving to not only see what's in front of the car but also the angle and position of the wheels.

Land Lover will be showcasing the new concept in the 2014 New York International Auto Show. 

"We have created the vision concept to debut a new, relevant design that connects on an emotional level with customers of today and tomorrow," Gerry McGovern, Design Director of Land Rover said in its release.
