Technology will provide a more simple and safe driving within the highway.
Nissan has equipped the minivan Serena a system of Autonomous control ProPILOT first generation. Thus, this model became the first Japanese cars with autopilot.
The system works with a camera that monitors both the vehicle ahead and road markings. Autopilot Nissan operates at speeds from 30 to 100 kilometers per hour.
Autonomous control system when activated, takes control of brakes, accelerator and steering. If the car in front of “Serena” will start to slow down, the van also will slow down to a complete stop. After movement in an Autonomous mode, you can resume by pressing activation of the autopilot or the gas pedal.
In 2017, the ProPILOT system will appear on the European version of the crossover Qashqai. By 2018, there will be a system of the second generation, suggesting the possibility of lane change offline, and by 2020 will debut ProPILOT 3.0, allowing you to move in city traffic without a driver.
