Self-driving cars have been in the works for a couple years now in order to be ready for customers by 2020. This type of technology will make such a big impact on driving and must be carefully tested to ensure safety and reliability. Through years of hard work, Nissan is already in the testing phase for a self-driving Nissan Leaf, which was conducted in London. Be on the lookout for an autonomous Nissan Leaf at Cardinale Nissan in the coming future.
As one of the first commercially available electric cars, the Nissan Leaf has always been one of the most advanced cars on the market. Because of this, it’s no surprise that Nissan selected this affordable and agile car as its initial candidate for the transition to #self-driving. The on-board electronics that manage the output of power to the motor pairs perfectly with the autonomous system as it allows for quick braking and acceleration. The smaller size of the Leaf also lets the car change lanes, park and come to a stop much more efficiently than a larger model. The Leaf also makes use of Forward Emergency Braking and Blind Spot Monitoring to ensure the driver’s safety.
This initial test was also the public’s first chance at experiencing this new technology for themselves. Nissan gave several demonstrations that gave a few volunteers a more intricate look at the car and a short ride with a certified Nissan driver behind the wheel. Many new laser scanners, radars and high quality cameras have been added to ensure the self-driving system works efficiently and as expected.
Cardinale Nissan will soon feature this new Nissan Leaf, along with the autonomous Nissan Rogue Sport, which will arrive at Monterey auto dealers this year.
