2017 Nissan Serena with ProPilot is first self-driving Japanese car

by SpeedLux

The 2017 Nissan Serena minivan will be the first Japanese automobile with self-driving. It shows up in August. The Nissan ProPilot system offers autonomous driving at speeds suited for Japanese roadways, in between 30 and 100 kph, or 19 to 62 miles per hour. It will follow the car in front, sluggish to a stop then concern speed once again, stay centered in lane, and deal with cut-ins, the automobiles that squeeze into the area in between you and the automobile in front.

Nissan ProPilot utilizes both radar and electronic camera systems. It’s partnering with Israel’s MobileEye, which offers much of the innovation behind Tesla Autopilot, as well as systems by General Motors, BMW, and Volvo. Mentioning Autopilot, Nissan at its press conference today in Yokohama explained exactly what ProPilot can and can refrain from doing, consisting of no lane changes. That is available in 2018.

The parts of ProPilot consist of a front-facing video camera, an electronic control module for the throttle, electrical power steering capable of being controlled by the processors, a brake controller, an electrical parking brake to hold the car when stopped without the driver pushing the brake pedal, and an ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) engine control system serving as a master controller for the other parts.
