Nissan's Direction Towards Autonomous Cars
Nissan has pledged to produce an autonomous vehicle by 2020. This initiative is part of Nissan's goal to reduce the accident rate of its vehicles to nearly zero. Additionally, several other automotive brands, including Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen, are also targeting the same objective through self-driving technology.
Nissan's Goals
Nissan aims to provide 100% autonomous cars for everyone, including:
- Senior citizens
- People with disabilities
Research and Development in Technology
Nissan has conducted extensive research on this type of technology for several years, collaborating with teams from some of the world's leading universities, including:
- Stanford University
- Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
- Carnegie Mellon University
- Oxford University
- The University of Tokyo
Current Developments in Self-Driving Technology
This vision is becoming a reality, as there are already cars capable of self-driving, such as the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, which can navigate independently in traffic and on highways.
