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.

Enjoy More Than Just A Dinner At These Monterey Restaurants

Restaurants in Monterey

Life is full of exciting adventures and interesting experiences, and one of the great benefits of living in a county like Monterey is the incredible variety of food and entertainment options available. From eating the freshest seafood on the West Coast to enjoying the beauty of nature at the beach, there is no shortage of things to do on a weekend afternoon. At Cardinale Nissan in Seaside, we like eating out to be about more than just the food. From our Monterey car dealership, here are some of our favorite food stops that incorporate something special into the experience.

 

Cachagua General Store

Raul N. spent years writing a column for the Monterey Herald called Off the Menu, in which he highlighted some of the best restaurants around the county. In his final article in 2012, he wrote about the #CachaguaGeneralStore, which hosted a pop-up campfire dinner for people willing to make the trek out into the wild. Since then, they have relocated to Carmel Valley Village, but are still serving up food that is both high quality and affordable. There is almost always live music being played, and the rural roadhouse setting is charming. They are open for Sunday brunch and Monday dinner.

 

Passionfish

It wouldn’t right if we forgot to mention about a great seafood place in Monterey, and Passionfish uses only sustainable, local seafood in its dishes. It was voted Best Restaurant in Monterey from 2011 to 2015, mostly thanks to an inventive and interesting menu. The menu changes daily based on the availability of the meat, but you can always be sure the chefs will find a unique and great tasting way to prepare it. They also offer a wide selection of wines that pair perfectly with the dishes on the menu.

Cardinale Nissan also offers a superior car buying experience that will help you find a car which fits your lifestyle and budget. Whether you are looking for a new or used Nissan Altima or need some maintenance help, be sure to visit www.cardinalenissan.com.

Monterey Bay Aquarium

Anyone considering buying a new Nissan will find that our cars are famous for two reasons: economic value and an exciting driving experience. From the Nissan Altima to the Nissan Rogue, you will find these two traits and more in all our models at Cardinale Nissan. In a similar manner, anyone looking for an exciting afternoon in Monterey county will likely consider two of our most famous attractions: the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Pebble Beach Golf Club. These two sites draw millions of visitors every year, and are a perfect destination for a gathering of family or friends.

 

Monterey Bay Aquarium

This incredible aquarium is well-known across the state for its size and many unique enclosures. The most spectacular one is the Open Sea Exhibit, which is the best example of all the amazing wildlife that call the ocean home. From sea turtles to sharks to schools of exotic fish, all residents of this aquarium have thousands of gallons of water in which to swim and enjoy themselves. There are also 45 different interactive exhibits that kids and adults can learn from and experience at their own pace. Just be sure to get there early or on a weekday, because parking fills up fast.

 

Pebble Beach Golf Links

Located along the famous 17-Mile Drive, Pebble Beach is a world-famous golf course that has hosted several major tournaments. Built along the Monterey coast, this challenging and scenic place has often been called one of the most beautiful golf courses in the world. If you enjoy the sport, an afternoon spent here with friends will likely be one of your most memorable experiences. All, however, should take some time to visit the course just for its fantastic greenery and exceptional views.

The best way to get to both of these famous attractions is in a brand new or used #Nissan from a Monterey auto dealer like Cardinale Nissan. You can view all our fantastic deals and browse all our models online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Learn To Spot Typical Problems That Can Arise With Your Car’s Exhaust System

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Car Exhaust

One of the most important byproducts produced in any combustion engine is exhaust. An engine creates power by burning fuels at high temperatures, and while it accelerates your car forward, exhaust is also created. It generally consists of nitrogen gas, water vapor and carbon dioxide, and it’s important that your exhaust system prevents these from getting trapped in your engine. A malfunctioning removal system can lead to big problems and at Cardinale Nissan, we can help you recognize the symptoms.

 

A clean engine allows your car to operate at maximum efficiency, and your muffler and exhaust system work hard to remove pollutants. If the system stops diverting exhaust fumes from the engine, they instead build up and can eat away at critical parts. Getting a regular car inspection is a great way to catch this problem before it becomes too serious.

 

One of the biggest causes of abnormal vibrations in your car is a damaged muffler and the severity of the vibrations is often directly related to the size of the hole or leak. If the hole is not patched, it could lead to greatly reduced fuel economy and eventual damage to more expensive components.

 

The most expensive part of your #exhaust system is the catalytic converter, so it is important to identify any potential problems early. A damaged converter will often make a sound similar to a box of coins being shaken, and without the converter the exhaust system will be extremely ineffective. Head into Cardinale Nissan as soon as possible if you notice this sound.

 

If you have any maintenance questions about your Nissan Altima or any new or used Nissan model, our service experts at Cardinale Nissan are happy to help. You can easily schedule fast and affordable Nissan car service to fit your life at www.cardinalenissan.com.

By
Posted in Uncategorized

When it comes to racing, many companies like Nissan have embraced the challenge of creating a competitive vehicle. Nissan’s latest creation the GT supercar, which is a modified version of the 2017 GT-R you can find at Cardinale Nissan. With a 600-horsepower engine it effortlessly roars down the raceway, and it’s not surprising that this car has been nicknamed “Godzilla.” To give fans a taste of this power, Nissan sent the model over to their NISMO division, who made a version anyone can enjoy.

The new NISMO GT-R perfectly balances power and turning precision and is sure to also be a hit.

 

There was already plenty to love about the GT-R and its 565-horsepower twin-turbocharged V6 engine, and the #NISMO version also features better handling and style options. To increase stability, the GT-R has had epoxy adhesive applied to several critical joints, which also provides the razor-sharp handling expected of a Nissan performance car. You will also find new style fenders, reliable and sturdy 20-inch forged aluminum wheels and a dry carbon-fiber spoiler. The NISMO GT-R has a limited edition red and black color treatment that runs all throughout the car, which looks stylish and is sure to grab everyone’s attention. Simply put, “The new GT-R Track Edition gives buyers a specialized model, one true to GT-R heritage and available only by special order.”

Cardinale Nissan Is Your One-Stop Shop For All Nissan Car Maintenance

By
Posted in Uncategorized

There are a few things that are guaranteed in life, most notably, death, taxes and car maintenance. All new cars, regardless of their build, eventually require replacement tires or a quick checkup to keep it running smoothly. Thankfully Cardinale Nissan is your local and easy, one-stop shop for all your car care needs. We offer friendly Nissan car service, and our technicians will fix your car troubles and get you back on the road in no time. Check out a few of the many services we offer:

 

Electrical Repairs

Wires gradually become less reliable due to wear and tear, and lights on your car can often go out without warning. If you experience these problems, our technicians can diagnose the cause and install a replacement.

 

Quality Licensed Parts

When making repairs to your car, we only use certified and licensed #Nissan parts. If your car needs a specific part, we can order it and have it installed in shop, or you can take it home and do it yourself if you are so inclined.

 

Lube, Oil and Filter Change

Any gas-powered engine needs some sort of lubrication or oil to prevent damage to the pistons and chambers. As oil is circulated throughout the engine, it eventually gets dirty and unusable due to dust and impurities. When this occurs, a quick oil change will keep your engine running smoothly.

 

Coolant and Transmission Flush

Almost all the fluids that are pumped through your car eventually require a flush and replacement. The coolant is important for keeping the engine at an ideal temperature, while the transmission fluid allows for easy gear shifts in both manual and automatic vehicles.

The Nissan Leaf Works To Save Lives In Dire Situations

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Electric cars have several economic and environmental benefits thanks to not running on gasoline. This translates into the release of no greenhouse gases, fewer pollutants and no trips to the gas station. Electric cars are also quieter and are better integrated into your car’s automatic safety systems. What you may not have heard though is that electric cars can save lives in a disaster, and through Nissan’s Intelligent Mobility Initiative, the electric Leaf is more affordable than ever. It’s just one more reason why your next car should be a Leaf from Cardinale Nissan.

 

A disaster can occur almost anytime and anywhere around the world, and they often cut people off from power or supplies. This can leave families stranded and unable to access essential resources. Most other cars would be useless in a disaster like a flood, but the #Leaf provides power in a similar manner to a generator. This can provide the necessary electricity to charge a phone or a microwave in order to cook food.

 

Rescue crews can take some time to come to the aid of trapped victims, so it’s important to have a reliable source of power in the meantime. Thanks to the Leaf’s advanced battery, charging other devices consumes only a little of the stored energy, so once the roads are clear you and your family can drive safely to a different area. Nissan concluded that the Leaf, “can be recharged to work as mobile power sources, avoiding gridlock at gas stations and extending an essential lifeline to isolated areas.”

 

Whether you get stuck at home due to a flood or are simply navigating city traffic, a Nissan Leaf from a Monterey auto dealer like Cardinale Nissan will always be there for you. Come down and check out our inventory of new and used models like the Nissan Altima, or visit us online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Nissan Reveals Latest Development In Its Car Sharing Program

By
Posted in Uncategorized

From getting a taxi to driving along in your own Nissan Altima from Cardinale Nissan, there are several great ways to get around the city. One of the newer developments is car sharing, like ZipCar, but none of these services provide easy access to clean transportation. To solve this problem, Nissan has developed their own car sharing platform that will debut in Japan and rapidly expand to other continents. To go along with this service, Nissan has also designed a small and completely electric car which has been nicknamed “Twizy”.

–

Monterey car dealerships like Cardinale Nissan provide great cars for people who need the mobility, but for those who don’t travel too far for work or vacation it can be simpler to use a car sharing service. Around most major cities, Nissan will be placing the Twizy in major travel hubs, where people can rent and return cars to. Since the Twizy is electric, the hubs will also act as charging centers so drivers never have to be worried about running out of juice.

–

Nissan and its partner Renault have been developing the #Twizy for a couple of years, and it is the perfect choice for a new car sharing program. Currently they only sit up to two people, but Nissan will likely extend the program in the future to include the Nissan Leaf, which can sit four to five. The Twizy can reach a top speed of around 50 miles per hour and has a total range of around 60 miles, which is ideal for short trips. The biggest benefit however is the electric design, which has no emissions and is free of pollutants.

–

While car sharing programs have their benefits, for families or people who drive more often a new or used car from Cardinale Nissan is best choice for getting around the Monterey area. Be sure to check out our latest deals online at www.cardinalenissan.com for stop by to talk with our friendly sales team.
