New driver-assistance technology dramatically improves collision-avoidance performance
Nissan develops automated collision-avoidance system, a fundamental technology for reducing traffic accidents and autonomous driving
Nissan believes that in the future era of automated driving, driver-assistance technology that can avoid the highly complex accidents that occur in the real world will be essential to ensure customer peace of mind.
Nissan develops an advanced driver-assistance technology that dramatically enhances collision-avoidance performance with the ground truth perception technology.

Ground truth perception technology
Ground truth perception is precise 3D perception of the vehicle’s surroundings by fusion of next-generation LiDAR, camera and radar. Especially, significantly improved ranging, field of view and resolution of the LiDAR allows full performance utilization.

Intersection collision avoidance
Accidents caused by driver error at intersections can unfortunately result in significant consequences. The in-development system is therefore being designed to provide improved assistance in difficult situations through advanced sensing and decision-making capabilities.
