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.

How technology works

Instantaneous decision and maneuver with real-time precise recognition of surroundings

Avoiding overturned trailer

Avoiding a suddenly stopped car

Emergency maneuvers in complex situations

Moreover, it can avoid collision with flying object by precise 3D space recognition

Avoiding flying object

Mechanism

System configuration

Unique algorithm development

Nissan’s unique perception and vehicle-control algorithm enables instantaneous recognition and decision

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.

1. Next-generation LiDAR

Precisely reproduces space and objects like 3D printer

2. Camera

Recognize scene context – vehicle category, road structure, traffic sign, character

3. Radar

Recognizes motion (distance, speed) of surrounding objects

ProPILOT: Concept Zero test vehicle

The latest test vehicle with ground truth perception technology revealed in April 2022. Nissan demonstrated how the test car can automatically perform collision-avoidance maneuvers.
