Posted in Uncategorized

Nissan is always looking for ways to make driving easier and safer for all, and the new Nissan ProPilot Assist technology does just that. It can help you maintain a safe distance behind other cars, stay within the lanes, navigate more efficiently and automatically park in any suitable space around Monterey. Cars like the Nissan Altima and Nissan Leaf will become far more enjoyable to drive, so be sure to stop by Cardinale Nissan once the 2018 models arrive.

Simplifying Tasks

There are many everyday tasks that drivers must accomplish, and one of the most difficult jobs is parking, especially on busy road. With the new ProPilot Park feature, your Nissan Maxima will quickly be able to automatically pull into in any space that is large enough, even if it requires parallel parking. By using various sensors and cameras, the car and accelerate, turn the wheel and brake to bring you into the desired spot.

Assisted Driving

The ProPilot system can’t take over all the functions of a car though, and it still requires the driver to have a steady grip on the wheel when using it on roads. When activated on a highway or while cruise control is enabled, the car will automatically keep the car a safe distance away from other vehicles at a speed set by the driver, as long as they keep at least one hand on the steering wheel. This is especially useful on long road trips or in highway traffic, and will help keep drivers safely in their lane and moving at the proper speed.

Cardinale Nissan will be happy to assist you with any questions about our cars or car buying process, just like the ProPilot Assist helps drivers. For more information and specifications about each of our models, visit www.cardinalenissan.com.

Nissan Takes To The Streets Of London For Autonomous Leaf Tests

By
Posted in Uncategorized

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. Our sales team can work with you to provide exceptional financing options and quality Nissan car service from our experienced technicians, so call or visit us online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Nissan Integrates NASA Tech Into Its Autonomous Cars

shutterstock_317811290The future of car driving is approaching fast, as many companies already have working prototypes of self-driving cars and even have plans to sell them by 2020. Nissan’s shipping division has already started using electric, autonomous cars to pull trailers of new vehicles down to the nearby port. It takes special software in order to control and operate these cars, which is why Nissan is integrating NASA technology that can be found on the Mars Rover.

 

The proper management of a car’s on-board systems and electronics is extremely important for the success of these vehicles. Thanks to its regenerative braking and general efficiency, the Nissan Leaf has one of the longest ranges of any electric car at the moment. If too much or too little energy is applied in electric car, your drive can be difficult or significantly cut the range, so Nissan has always made sure its vehicles are equipped with the most advanced technologies. This extends all the way from the physical components of the car and battery to on-board computer.

 

NASA’s Seamless Autonomous Mobility (SAM) program has found success on the Mars Rover and will continue to do well in Nissan cars. This software helps autonomous cars understand and analyze unfamiliar or unpredictable situations. The SAM system is capable of analyzing the images and sensor data to engineer an effective and safe response. In the event of something way out of the ordinary, it can even contact a control center manager for assistance.

Nissan Rolls Out New Autonomous Car For Testing

Cardinale Nissan 2_SelfDrivingCar1

Self-driving cars are the way of the future. Numerous studies and many experts all agree that soon we won’t have to drive ourselves to work each morning. Now you can enjoy your coffee and music in comfort as the car adapts to the road and other drivers on its own. But how soon will these cars be available? Surprisingly, Nissan has already developed an autonomous car that will be out for testing in Japan in the coming year, named the #ProPILOT.

 

While an autonomous car still needs a small amount of user input, it’s the nearest thing on the market right now to a true self-driving car. The Nissan ProPILOT is a small car that was designed to navigate on highways in single lane traffic. The system is made up of a number of cameras and sensors that monitor how the cars in front and behind are adjusting speed. It’s easy to turn on and off with a simple switch and will help ease the stress of gridlock highway traffic.

 

Interestingly, the ProPILOT technology is already in testing right now, but in a form that you may not expect: chairs. You might have seen a short video with some chairs that move on their own and transport people as they wait in line (if not just look up Nissan Autonomous Chairs). These chairs are designed from the same technology and can automatically follow the chairs in front of them at a programmed distance. This can make waiting in line easier and much more comfortable.

 

Nissan works hard to create the most advanced technology every year, and you can expect the same standard on all the current models. So come test drive a new Nissan Altima or Leaf for yourself at Cardinale Nissan, or check out all of our vehicles online at www.cardinalenissan.com.
