Japanese auto¹ manufacturer Nissan Motor has unveiled its new self-driving technology 'ProPilot,' which assists the driver in maintaining speed during heavy traffic, changing lanes, and other driving maneuvers² on a highway.

 

日本日产汽车公布其新式自动驾驶技术“ProPilot”，这项技术可以协助驾驶员在车水马龙中保持速度、变道以及其它辅助驾驶。

 

Nissan's 2016 model Serena will be the first to have the 'ProPilot' technology, which is made possible by relatively³ simple technologies including a front-facing camera, an electronic parking break, and a 7-inch display monitor inside the car.

 

Kiwamu Aoyanagi is the manager of Nissan's advanced driver assistance systems engineering department.

 

"As part of the first step in pursuing our self-driving technology called ProPilot, we are implementing⁴ the system into the Serena model. This is part of the company's roadmap, which in 2016 will begin implementing ProPilot that works within a single lane on highways."

 

By 2018, Nissan aims to have ProPilot be able to operate in multiple lane changes, and by 2020, to be able to turn left and right at intersections⁵.
