Nissan to produce autonomously driven vehicles by 2020
02 Sep 2013|2,455 views
According to Nissan, its engineers have been carrying out intensive research on the technology for years, alongside teams from the world's top universities, including MIT, Stanford, Oxford, Carnegie Mellon and the University of Tokyo.
A dedicated autonomous driving proving ground is also in the works - to be completed by the end of fiscal year 2014 in Japan.
Featuring real townscapes, it will be used to push vehicle testing beyond the limits possible on public roads to ensure the technology is safe.
"In 2007 I pledged that - by 2010 - Nissan would mass market a zero-emission vehicle. Today, the Nissan LEAF is the best selling electric vehicle in history. Now I am committing to be ready to introduce a new ground breaking technology, Autonomous Drive, by 2020, and we are on track to realise it," said CEO Carlos Ghosn.
Nissan demonstrated the capability of its autonomous drive technology for the first time at Nissan 360 - a huge test drive and stakeholder interaction event being held in Southern California. Laser scanners, Around View Monitor cameras, as well as advanced artificial intelligence and actuators, have been installed in Nissan LEAFs to enable them to negotiate complex real world driving scenarios.
The technology at Nissan 360 allows a car to be driven autonomously on a highway - sticking to or changing lanes and avoiding collisions - without a map. It can also be integrated with a standard in-car navigation system so the vehicle knows which turns to take to reach its destination.
