2021: Start of production of Nissan cars with first-level autopilots in Russia
In early April 2021, Nissan announced the start of production in Russia of Nissan Qashqai and X-Trail crossovers equipped with an autopilot of the first level ProPilot. More details here.
2019: Announcement ProPilot 2.0
In mid-May 2019, Nissan introduced the ProPilot 2.0 automatic vehicle control system, which is active even when the driver does not hold his hands on the steering wheel.
At the time of the announcement of this development, adaptive cruise control technologies and autopilot systems are active only if the person behind the wheel keeps his hands on it. Otherwise, control of the vehicle is returned to the driver.
ProPilot 2.0, according to the developers, is a more advanced system that does not require operational human insurance. The novelty allows the car in autopilot mode to rebuild from one row to another, overtake other cars and stay in the current lane.
ProPilot 2.0 includes a navigation system with high-resolution 3D maps, 7 cameras, 5 radars and 12 sonars - sensors for detecting objects using acoustic radiation. There are no lidars in the system, since Nissan abandoned them due to the high cost and limited functionality.
Although the system allows you to remove your hands from the steering wheel on the track, electronics will check whether the driver is looking at the road - so you will not be able to read the book or distract from the phone during autopilot operation.
In addition, the driver will have to return his hands to the steering wheel in situations requiring maneuvers - for example, when rebuilt or when leaving the highway to secondary roads by command of the navigation system.
The key function of the updated system was that in the navigator you can set the destination, and the car will go there on its own, if, of course, these roads are added to the autopilot maps.
First, ProPilot 2.0 will be used in cars sold only in the Japanese market. The technology will debut in the Nissan Skyline sedan in the fall of 2019.[1]
