Nissan drew in a lot of attention last summer when it became the first major auto manufacturer to give a time-frame for its commercial rollout of self-driving cars by 2020. Nissan did this the same way they announced years earlier with electric vehicles. The first time around, their announcement made them the industry’s leader in the latest cutting-edge automotive technology. Almost a year after Nissan’s self-driving vehicle announcement, Carlos Ghosn, Nissan’s CEO, has taken a step back and commented, “Self-driving cars remain a long way from commercial reality.” However Google seems to be on top of things in this arena. The search-engine giant has a real chance of transforming this great idea into a reality. Additionally, with Nissan’s recent step back, Google can take their time smoothening out all the wrinkles.

The Japanese automaker continues to revamp its GT-R model every model-year. Since it was first introduced in 2009, the GT-R has been updated in a number of ways and the 2015 Nissan GT-R is no exception. Regardless of the chassis calibration, upping of horsepower, and sharpening of steering, one thing remains the same – the GT-R continues to deliver amazing power. With a softener suspension this year, there should be an improved grip on track. Furthermore, the new model features an active-noise-cancellation system, fat Dunlop tires and a six-speed dual clutch automatic transmission.

Nissan has been named as one of the top global green automotive brands for 2014; in fact it has managed to rank fourth overall, moving an entire ranking up from the 2013 report. This is a tremendous win for the Japanese auto manufacturer.
