Autonomous driving technology is getting closer to becoming a thing of the present rather than a thing of the future. Many people are still wondering what it would be like to live in a world where we allow our car to handle the stress of driving and if the technology will just end up making us travel like we are on a giant conveyer belt. Many brands including Nissan, however, are making an effort to continue developing this technology to make it more in tune with the type of driving experience that we would expect today.

Recently, Nissan showcased the technology within its new IDS Concept that offers a look at the greater possibilities of autonomous driving. This model comes complete with both a manual mode and Piloted Drive, and what makes this technology so unique is that the autonomous driving is programmed to follow the driving patterns of the driver. Therefore, when the driver is driving the car in manual mode, the IDS’s technology has been designed to record the tendencies and habits of the driver so that when Piloted Drive is selected, the vehicle will continue to drive in the same style. Additionally, the autonomous technology in the IDS will also have the ability to overpower the driver in manual mode in order to prevent a possible accident sensed by the vehicle’s accident prevention technologies.
