The Japanese automaker made the pledge Tuesday at an event in California.
CEO Carlos Ghosn has said before that he wants Nissan to be the first to sell self-driving cars. But Tuesday’s announcement was more specific.
Nissan says it will have a commercially viable autonomous driving system in multiple vehicles by 2020. It hopes to offer that system at a reasonable price across its lineup within two vehicle generations.
The company says it’s working on autonomous cars with several universities, including M.I.T. and the University of Tokyo. It’s also building the first dedicated proving ground for autonomous cars near its headquarters in Japan.
Nissan already offers some technology that’s used in autonomous cars, including motion-detecting cameras.
But they’ll still ticket you for using a handheld cellphone, because it’s a good moneymaker.
Please have Boro Park drivers in mind when making this. Can’t imagine what 13th ave will look like 2 hrs before shabbos in 2020.
Now if someone would just invent a rocket belt.
the car can drive themselves but i am not getting into that car when it has a computer error and goes off the bridge,
Don’t get it b”c every teenager’s dream is when will he already be able to drive a car so if the car drives on its own no thrill any more!! also if some1 not in the mood of driving u could always call a taxi!
Boy I can see it now: two of these cars cut each other off and give each other the antenna….
One must assume that texting by a human will be permitted since it’s the computer that’s driving the car.
Big deal, I’m still waiting for a siddur vus davent fun zich Alayn.
