Nissan announced a new driver-assistance technology, which is currently in-development, that utilizes highly accurate, real-time information about the vehicle’s surrounding environment to enhance collision avoidance significantly. At a Nissan facility in Yokohama, a test vehicle demonstrated how this technology can automatically perform collision-avoidance maneuvers. The next-generation LIDAR, a crucial element, is being integrated into Nissan’s system in collaboration with Luminar. In the area of advanced collision avoidance control it is critical to develop highly accurate verification technology in a digital environment. Under its long-term vision, Nissan Ambition 2030, Nissan is working to develop vehicle control technology aimed to reduce accidents significantly by utilizing next-generation LIDAR technology.
