Nissan Partners With Mobileye To Make Self-Driving Systems Safer And More Efficient

Nissan Partners With Mobileye

The age of self-driving and autonomous cars is drawing nearer, and many companies have already shown off their working prototypes. Earlier this year, Nissan debuted their autonomous Leaf on the streets of London, taking willing participants out for a drive. Nissan is now working to make these cars safer and more efficient by teaming up with Mobileye in creating specialized maps. As the car drives around the city, it will be mapping out roads and buildings with extreme precision. Come down to a Monterey auto dealer like Cardinale Nissan to see how this will improve the upcoming Leaf and other Nissan models.

–

The specialized computer chips created by Mobileye already help to reduce collisions by monitoring a car’s surroundings. Several Nissan models already have this ability to detect when a forward collision will occur and automatically stop the car. Mobileye’s new mapping chips will create a mapping network by collaborating with other vehicles. Because this system benefits from the participation of as many vehicles and companies as possible, BMW and Volkswagen have also partnered in creating this digital map.

–

All autonomous systems benefit from having a real time map that updates constantly. This will make self-driving cars much safer as they can better predict other cars’ movements, and it will also add more possible routes for the car to take. A connected network would also allow for these cars to report accidents and immediately recognize delays which could save drivers time by suggesting alternate navigation options.

–

At Cardinale Nissan, not only can you find great deals on all current models like the 2017 Nissan Altima, you can expect savings on autonomous cars when they arrive at Nissan dealerships. Nissan has already hinted at a self-driving 2018 Nissan Leaf, so stay updated on the latest news at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Nissan Versa

When purchasing a new car from Cardinale Nissan, one of the best classes to get the most out of your hard-earned money is a sedan.

You can even find many performance upgrades that let you enjoy all that driving can offer.

Nissan Versa

This “big little car” makes the most out of its small size, thanks to efficient design choices. While it may seem small at first glance, the Versa has the most rear legroom in its class and enough headroom for your tallest passengers. This combined with the comfortable seats means everyone gets to enjoy the ride without feeling cramped. The #Versa also has a special microfinish, which minimizes friction and gives the car an EPA estimated 34.5 combined mpg.

–

Versa Note

If you are searching for a little extra trunk room and customization options, take a test drive in the 2017 Versa Note. It offers even more cargo space with its hatchback design, allowing you to carry any extra suitcases or sporting equipment. The Versa Note also is slightly more fuel efficient than its cousin and features a class-exclusive around view monitor. It even has its own Color Studio that lets you customize every interior and exterior color choice.

You can find great deals on both of these cars at a Monterey auto dealer like Cardinale Nissan. We make the whole car buying process easy, and you can view all our latest Nissan models online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Monterey’s Best Seafood

There are several advantages to living by the water, including the great climate and friendly wildlife. The ocean provides an endless supply of fun and food, and the restaurants in Monterey are serving up the freshest dishes daily. From perfectly cooked fish to a hearty crab claw chowder, you can always find something new and tasty around town. At Cardinale Nissan, your local Monterey auto dealer, we have spent many evenings visiting the most interesting and creative restaurants, so here are some of our recommendations on the must-visit spots.

–

Old Fisherman’s Grotto:

Any good restaurant must stand the test of time in the heavily competitive climate of the Monterey Peninsula. The Old Fisherman’s Grotto was the flagship restaurant of Christopher Shale, and has been able to keep up with culinary trends since its opening in the 1950s. The most memorable part of this longstanding establishment is the incredible view of the ocean from the huge windows. Whether you spent the afternoon listening to sea lions on the pier or went out on a sightseeing excursion, settle in for some homemade comfort food and great service from the friendly staff. Also, be sure to check out their full bar and wine offerings that have received several awards.

–

Whaling Station Restaurant:

While this fine dining establishment is mostly known for being the number one steak house in Monterey for over 45 years, they treat their seafood specials with the same care. When preparing steak or seafood, cooking them perfectly is essential to both taste and texture, and the chefs at the Whaling Station have mastered this art. They are located right above #CanneryRow, with a great view of the surrounding area. This restaurant is also the perfect location for a birthday celebration or a fancy corporate dinner and the staff will help make it a night to remember.

Our staff at Cardinale Nissan is also there to make shopping for a new or used car in Monterey easier than ever. We can help you test drive any of our models, and if you ever have any questions be sure to visit us online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Manage Your Car’s Fluid Levels More Effectively With These Easy Tips

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Just like how the human body runs on water, a car like the Nissan Altima needs several fluids to keep everything running smoothly. Most drivers know to have their oil changed regularly, but in order to stay a peak performance levels other fluids need to be monitored as well. At Cardinale Nissan, your local Monterey auto dealer, you will find exceptional Nissan car service and advice on how to properly maintain your vehicle.

 

Oil:

When the pistons of your car move in order to generate power, they need a lubricant to reduce wear and tear. As oil is used, it becomes dirty and less efficient, and can lead to permanent engine damage. Checking your oil levels is easy: simply pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, then insert and remove it. The level on the dipstick will indicate how much oil you have remaining.

 

Power Steering Fluid:

The power steering system makes turning much easier, and also adds to the car’s precision and handling. This fluid is usually stored on the passenger side of the car under the hood, and will often be labeled “steering.” Most cars have an opaque container so identifying the amount left is easy, but if not, simply clean the area around the cap before unscrewing it so no dust or debris enter the container.

 

Radiator Fluid:

Engine overheating can be a big problem during hot summer months, and radiator fluid helps prevent potential problems by cooling the engine down. Before you check the fluid level, make sure the car has been off for several hours and the engine is cold. Be sure to use a rag to unscrew the cap and then peer inside to judge the fluid level.

If you ever have a concern about your Nissan’s performance or any difficult maintenance questions, talk with any of our service experts at Cardinale #Nissan. You can also schedule service ahead of time or view any of our new or preowned models online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

The Nissan Rogue Breaks Crossover Sales Records

Nissan Rogue Breaks Record

Because most 2017 models debut early in the year or late in 2016, April and May are the first real months that show the market impact of the changes. It takes several months after the release of a car to estimate its potential, as you want to measure average sales over a longer period of time. Crossovers continue to perform above expectations this year, and the Nissan Rogue has claimed the title of top-selling non-pickup in America. At Cardinale Nissan, a top Monterey auto dealer, you can see for yourself why this car is making big waves in the car market.

 

One of the biggest appeals of crossovers like the #Rogue is their adaptability and versatility. Both single drivers and families can enjoy the comfortable and spacious seating, and the car is actually fun to drive even on longer trips. The Rogue also offers plenty of trunk space thanks to its design, and can hold all your luggage or sporting equipment for any vacation or event.

 

The overall affordability of the Rogue also plays a major role in its success during a time where the car market is generally down. Gas prices will start creeping up as summer approaches, and having a car like the Rogue will save you money at the pump. The hybrid edition of the Rogue gets an average 34 mpg and can travel in the city using just the electric motor. The Rogue also sports features like Blind Spot Monitoring, which is bundled with Nissan’s entire suite of Safety Shield Technologies to keep you safe on the road.

 

When you need a Monterey car dealership that has an extensive inventory and great deal on all models, look no further than Cardinale Nissan. Whether you are just looking at Nissan’s new cars or are interested in owning or leasing a vehicle, www.cardinalenisssan.com is the place to go.

Nissan Leaf Sales

Electric car sales have always been an important statistic, and the Nissan Leaf has always outsold the competition. It has a long heritage of improvements and technological breakthroughs since its introduction as the first commercial electric car. In 2017, several contenders were introduced into the market, but none can compare to the reliability, affordability and performance that the #Leaf offers. To see how you can own the bestselling electric car, come down to a Monterey car dealership like Cardinale Nissan.

 

Jose Pontes is one of the leading experts on trends in electric car sales, and has been monitoring them since 2008. He provides reliable and accurate information for technological journals and articles, and his recent EV Sales blog compared several brands from January to February. During this period the Nissan Leaf outsold the competition by far, including big brands like Tesla and Chevy. The race wasn’t even close, with the Leaf beating the next highest seller by 8,000 units. Looking forward, the Leaf is expected to perform even better with the release of the redesigned and more efficient 2017 Nissan Leaf.

 

Numerous factors have contributed to the Leaf’s success, and all are product of continual refinement over the years by Nissan. Affordability is key to any electric car’s success, especially for drivers looking to make the switch from gas-powered vehicles. All Nissan Leaf buyers also receive two years of free charging at thousands of stations around the country, so you can always be ready for the road ahead.

 

A Monterey auto dealer like Cardinale Nissan is the perfect place to test drive a new or used Nissan Leaf for yourself. Come experience why this car towers above all other electric cars, or you can learn more about the Leaf online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Every county has its big attractions that almost everyone has visited or at least knows about. For #Monterey county, the Monterey Bay Aquarium is one of the most popular locations for residents and tourists alike to visit. But there are also plenty of smaller, hidden jewels that are just as exciting to spend an afternoon at, and thanks to our years of being a Monterey car dealership, we have spent many weekends hunting for these gems. Here are some of Cardinale Nissan’s favorite lesser known spots to enjoy.

 

Monarch Grove Butterfly Sanctuary

Much likes birds migrate between climates, the Monarch butterfly also makes a two-way journey each year. Some of their favorite stops along the way are Pacific eucalyptus groves, which they hang from in clusters with other butterflies in order to stay warm. To preserve the beauty of this natural habitat, the city of Pacific Grove created this free to visit sanctuary. Here you can take photos of these gorgeous creatures, you just can’t touch them!

 

Monterey County Youth Museum

This whimsical museum advertises itself as a place, “where children play to learn and grownups learn to play” and the 8,500 square feet of interactive exhibits does not disappoint. There are loads of hands-on activities and scheduled events planned every day, full of fun and education. This is a great place to explore your inner creativity and remember how it felt to be a kid.

 

National Steinbeck Center

For those who are a fan of literature, the National Steinbeck Center is a memorable tribute to one of the greatest authors of all time. It’s located in John Steinbeck’s hometown of Salinas, California, and has interactive art, agriculture, history and literature exhibits to explore. It even features seven themed theaters for his most popular novels.
