In recent years, competition has intensified as companies pursued the development of autonomous vehicles aiming to tackle societal issues, such as the elimination of traffic accidents and mobility support for the elderly. An advanced driver assistance ECU and a map position unit enables advanced driver assistance functions, such as overtaking assistance and navigated driving assistance on highways. The ECU provides integrated vehicle control based on expansive information on the surrounding environment acquired through camera sensors. The high-definition map position unit plays a crucial role in providing map data to the advanced driver assistance ECU. The map data includes the shape of roads from several hundred meters ahead to several kilometers ahead.
The advanced driver assistance ECU adopted in the Nissan new model "SKYLINE" is configured with two CPUs - one for recognition processing and one for vehicle control - enabling both safety and high-speed computing performance to contribute to even higher precision vehicle integrated control. The high-definition map position unit also adopted by "SKYLINE" stores high-definition digitalized 3D map data that covers features including
These technologies support world leading advanced driver assistance technologies developed by Nissan, "ProPILOT 2.0", which engages with the navigation system enables hands-off(2) driving while cruising in a single lane on highways on a pre-defined route.
(1) Wireless data communication.
(2) Hands-off driving is possible when driving in a single lane on the condition that the driver remains attentive on the road ahead and is prepared to immediately take manual control of the steering wheel when the road, traffic and vehicle conditions require it on motorways for which high-definition 3D map data is available and where opposite lanes are separated.
