Nissan Qashqai Piloted Drive
Nissan Europe has unveiled the first
Autonomous production-spec vehicle based on the Nissan Qashqai facelift. It
launches next year, and will feature Autonomous Piloted Drive 1.0, where the
car can drive autonomously on a single lane.
The autonomous drive system has been
tested extensively by the company placing several sensors on the car to ensure
the system anticipates its surroundings correctly.
Nissan produces the Qashqai at it’s
Sunderland plant in UK. It holds a success story for the company as in
September 2015, the Qashqai became the fastest ever UK-built vehicle to cross
the 500,000 production mark.
Nissan is following its commitment to
launch a range of vehicles with autonomous drive capabilities by 2020,
including vehicles that will be able to safely navigate city intersections.
