This year’s ‘Truck of the Year’ award in Texas goes to the Nissan Titan XD for its impeccable design and luxury features. The Texas Auto Writers Association annually evaluates the large vehicle market, and this year, for the first time ever, a Nissan truck won. The TAWA award is a great win for Nissan, in fact, Fred Diaz, Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing and Operations for Nissan North America, said: “Of the hundreds of thousands of miles driven during the development of the all-new 2016 TITAN XD, the miles driven by the truck experts of the Texas Auto Writers Association were the most critical miles driven to date as we prepare to launch our new truck.”

Nissan Autonomous Driving Technology Explained

Nissan 1 driving technology explained

The Nissan Intelligent Driving prototype car recently took on Tokyo morning traffic and the test drive went nearly flawlessly. Automotive News believes that the way in which the car performed earlier this week, gives a clear indication of what the future will look like for Nissan. On the test drive, Nissan Engineer, Tetsuya Lijima, had to take control of the Leaf-based prototype only once – when they were at an intersection, turning left and there were no lines in the road for the car to follow. “This is not perfect. The driver must be prepared and we must keep the driver involved” – this is one of the biggest foreseen challenges. Even at its early stages, it is easy for the driver to become complacent. Perhaps the most impressive thing about the new technology is its ability to react smoothly and quickly when being cut off. Automotive News said: “The braking was controlled and precise rather than panicked. The car functioned like an experienced driver.”
