The age of self-driving and autonomous cars is drawing nearer, and many companies have already shown off their working prototypes. Earlier this year, Nissan debuted their autonomous Leaf on the streets of London, taking willing participants out for a drive. Nissan is now working to make these cars safer and more efficient by teaming up with Mobileye in creating specialized maps. As the car drives around the city, it will be mapping out roads and buildings with extreme precision. Come down to a Monterey auto dealer like Cardinale Nissan to see how this will improve the upcoming Leaf and other Nissan models.

The specialized computer chips created by Mobileye already help to reduce collisions by monitoring a car’s surroundings. Several Nissan models already have this ability to detect when a forward collision will occur and automatically stop the car. Mobileye’s new mapping chips will create a mapping network by collaborating with other vehicles. Because this system benefits from the participation of as many vehicles and companies as possible, BMW and Volkswagen have also partnered in creating this digital map.

All autonomous systems benefit from having a real time map that updates constantly. This will make self-driving cars much safer as they can better predict other cars’ movements, and it will also add more possible routes for the car to take. A connected network would also allow for these cars to report accidents and immediately recognize delays which could save drivers time by suggesting alternate navigation options.

At Cardinale Nissan, not only can you find great deals on all current models like the 2017 Nissan Altima, you can expect savings on autonomous cars when they arrive at Nissan dealerships.
