Nissan разработал шоссейный автопилотWhile Nissan may only work on certain roads.

Nissan has extended the capabilities of complex assistance systems ProPILOT, adding feature semi-Autonomous driving on highways with the possibility of movement “without hands”. The new technology will debut on the Japanese the Nissan Skyline in autumn this year.

The highway pilot Nissan while it may only work on certain roads and not able to go in and out of highways. To activate it, the driver needs to set a route in the navigation system – after that, the system will keep the car in the lane to help in the rebuilds and overtaking.

When driving at a constant speed in one lane for the first time allowed to keep hands on the wheel, but any maneuver will be accompanied by audio – visual warning- in order to rebuild, you will have to take the wheel and turn on the Blinker. For the autopilot uses a set of cameras, radars, ultrasonic sensors, GPS (which is why the autopilot does not work in tunnels) and 3D maps in high resolution. In addition, the system constantly checks to see if the driver is on the road. The autopilot has several limitations: it does not work on high speed roads with two-way traffic, on winding roads and at the entrances to toll booths on toll roads.

A similar system called Super Cruise have the Cadillac. It is also semi-Autonomous autopilot for freeways with a limited number of entries, which does not require the driver to keep hands on the wheel. To work Super Cruise uses a tracking feature for the driver’s view, a set of cameras, topographic data obtained from lidar and information from a navigation system.
