Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. announced today that the new Serena, scheduled to go on sale in late August, will come equipped with the company’s ProPILOT autonomous drive technology, offering convenience and peace of mind during highway mobility.

Renault participated in a unique opportunity in Amsterdam today to showcase emerging autonomous drive technologies to a select group of European policy makers. The European Union’s 28 Transport Ministers gathered to sign the Amsterdam Declaration in favour of autonomous vehicles.

 

In a new video, Renault offers an insight into the in-car technology and human-machine interfaces that  will make life easier for drivers of autonomous vehicles. The video follows the announcement earlier this  month that the Renault-Nissan Alliance will be launching more than 10 autonomous drive vehicles by  2020. 

Renault-Nissan Alliance CEO Carlos Ghosn hosted a media roundtable for international journalists at the 2016 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

On January 7, the Renault-Nissan Alliance announced it will launch more than 10 vehicles with autonomous drive technology in the next four years.

Alliance TV caught up with the heads of design at Renault and Nissan at the 44th Tokyo Motor Show in Japan, Nissan’s home market. Watch this video to find out what Laurens van den Aker had to say about the stylish new Twingo for the Japanese market. And hear what Shiro Nakamura had to say about Nissan’s sleek, new autonomous drive concept IDS and the funky Teatro for Days kei car concept. In the video, the two executives also describe their company’s respective design philosophy. While both stress that design at both companies is kept strictly separate, they point out there are still areas of synergies.
 

Nissan is providing its unique Around View Monitor (AVM) technology to the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) and Topy Industries, Ltd., through a joint development project that may help uncover the mysteries of the oceans.

 

There has been a lot of talk in the media recently about “Autonomous Drive” technology and a potential future of driverless cars.

 

No doubt, Autonomous Drive technology will change how we approach driving. I expect it to result a significant transformation in transportation.
