Nissan is testing its driverless technology in busy city streets, showcasing a van that navigates autonomously using advanced sensors. The vehicle, equipped with 14 cameras, nine radars, and six LiDar sensors, aims to position Japan competitively in the autonomous driving sector, which has been dominated by companies like Waymo in the U.S. Despite Japan's reputation for automotive excellence, it has lagged behind in the global shift towards self-driving technology.
During demonstrations, Nissan's vehicle adhered to speed limits while navigating through traffic, highlighting the integration of self-driving technology with traditional automotive systems. The company plans to expand its fleet in Yokohama and aims to achieve full autonomy by 2029 or 2030. As Japan faces a declining population and driver shortages, the potential for autonomous vehicles to meet transportation needs is becoming increasingly relevant.
• Nissan's driverless technology uses multiple sensors for urban navigation.
• Japan aims for full autonomy in vehicles by 2029 or 2030.
LiDar technology is used for precise distance measurement and environmental mapping in autonomous vehicles.
Level Two autonomy allows for some automated driving but requires human oversight and intervention.
Edge cases refer to rare scenarios that autonomous systems must learn to handle for safety.
Nissan is developing driverless technology to enhance urban mobility and compete globally.
Waymo is a leader in autonomous driving technology, influencing global standards and competition.
