“Nissan Intelligent Driving” Paves The Way For Automated Driving

“Nissan Intelligent Driving” is bringing us ever closer to true automated driving. This new umbrella of technology is still in its first stage, called “Piloted Drive 1.0”, but it is currently being road tested in Japan. Nissan is developing even more technologies to be added in the future as well and hopes to achieve its goals of “Zero Emissions” and “Zero Fatality”.

The two technologies that make up the first stage, “Piloted Drive 1.0”, are an eight-way, 360-degree view camera system and a miniature, high-spec laser scanner. Both work together to allow for autonomous driving, even under heavy highway traffic conditions, by evaluating your surroundings, including other vehicles, and making smooth transportation decisions.

“We at Nissan are setting clear goals and preparing for the implementation of piloted drive,” said senior vice president of Nissan, Takao Asami. “The prototype that we’re introducing here today is proof of how close we are towards the realization of this goal. Nissan aspires for a safe and trouble-free motoring future, and we plan on leading the industry in the implementation of piloted drive.”
