Nissan Creates Intelligent Parking Chair
We already have cars with self-parking technology but now Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. has taken that technology to a whole new format with the creation of the first-ever “Intelligent Parking Chair,” concept. The development of this chair was inspired by the self-parking technology and has been designed to automatically move into a set position.
The chair is equipped with a special roller that allows the chair to rotate 360 degrees. This roller is digitally connected to a special system made up of four cameras placed in the ceiling of the office. These cameras provide a bird’s-eye view to help guide the chairs into their proper position using a wireless transmission.
See how this new system has made pushing in your chair at the end of the day obsolete for some Japanese businessmen in the video below!

Nissan Debuts Rogue Warrior Prototype In Canada
Nissan knows that the weather can be rough in the winter and that driving through snow can be a hassle. In order to help combat the elements, Nissan has developed a new prototype called the Rogue Warrior. This vehicle has been designed to easily power through the snow thanks to snow tracks that have been installed in place of tires. Recently, the brand debuted this new prototype at the 2016 Montreal International Auto Show (MIAS) where it will be on display until the end of this weekend.
In addition to the display at MIAS, the brand has also released a new 90-second spot that shows off this impressive model in action and also features 2015 Nissan Micra Cup Champion and 2015 Gilles-Villeneuve Trophy recipient, Olivier Bédard. In the spot, we see a group of skiers waiting in a long line for their turn to catch a ride in the ski lift. Bédard notices the backup and decides to take matters into his own hands and leaves, only to return with the Rogue Warrior. With these custom snow tracks, this model is able to easily plow through more than a foot of snow to reach the group of skiers and haul them up to the top of the mountain so that they can enjoy their day instead of standing in line.
“In the automotive industry, it’s the norm to develop a prototype and show it to the world through photos or a static auto show display, but with the Rogue Warrior – we had to do something more,” says Steve Rhind, director of marketing at Nissan Canada. “When the all-wheel drive system on the Rogue and Nissan’s advanced Xtronic transmission are matched with snow tracks, it results in something spectacular – a Rogue capable of overcoming severe, off-road winter conditions. This video shows an entertaining side of our brand’s persona, and does justice to the extreme capabilities of the Rogue Warrior – an idea developed and executed entirely in Canada.”
Check out the spot in the video below to see some of what this model is capable of.
