This can be compared to the same system that Tesla have in its arsenal of electric vehicles.
The Japanese car maker says that its newly designed ProPILOT System is designed to let the Serena accelerate, brake, and navigate driving during traffic situations. However, this is only limited to a single lane view.
This technology depends heavily on the internal camera that gauges the location of the vehicle. This will be out in the market next month. Nissan also states that it is still far from fully developing a fully self-driving car even as late as 2020. Tokyo is also the host of the 2020 Summer Olympics.
The competition of developing a fully autonomous vehicle is a stiff one in the automotive market. To be automotive means to let the driver do a variety of other things without having to drive the vehicle.
Nissan, together with other Japanese competitors in the automotive industry is finding ways to develop and improve auto-driving features just like self-parking and a new crash-avoidance technology.
According to Hideyuki Sakamoto, the executive vice president of Nissan, the focus of the company is not to let the vehicle handle everything, but instead, is to just assist in the driving. This was stated in a statement last Wednesday.
The rollout came to the scene because of the fatal car crash that happened to a Tesla electric vehicle that was allegedly on autopilot mode. It has a very similar system with that of Nissan's ProPILOT system.
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla is under heavy scrutiny as the most advanced autopilot system that is present in Tesla's EVs have failed. This leaves questions about the safety of other less premium autopilot systems out in the market.
Doubts on the unreliable possibility of Nissan's autopilot system is a barrier to the company's aim of being successful in marketing their very first autopilot system named, ProPILOT.
