On April 25, Nissan announced its progress in the development of new driver assistance technologies. The new technology can use a highly accurate, real-time vehicle surrounding environment information perception system to effectively reduce accidents and improve the level of automatic driving.
Nissan's "ground truth perception" technology combines information perceived by next-generation high-performance lidar (LIDAR), radar, and cameras to detect the shape and distance of targets in real time and accurately, as well as the spatial structure of the area around the vehicle. Using this information, the vehicle can analyze the current situation in an instant to make a judgment and automatically perform collision avoidance operations. At the same time, the technology can also detect deceleration traffic and road obstacles in the distance, and automatically change lanes. Importantly, in the absence of detailed map information, the technology can still provide drivers with strong driver assistance support.
Takao Asami, senior vice president of global R&D at Nissan Motor Company, said: "Nissan motor is the first company in the world to introduce a number of advanced driver assistance technologies. Giving drivers confidence in the safety performance of vehicles is key to the future development of autonomous driving technology. Nissan's ground truth perception technology will play a crucial role in improving driver confidence, reducing traffic accidents, and driving the development of autonomous driving in the future. ”
Nissan is working with leading companies to develop driver assistance technologies and share experience. Nissan Motor Has partnered with Luminar1 to integrate next-generation lidar (LIDAR) into Nissan's driver assistance systems using leading technology. In addition, in the field of advanced collision control, it is also crucial to develop high-precision verification technology in a digital environment. Based on this, Nissan Motor is cooperating with Applied Intuition2, which has advanced simulation technology.
According to nissan Ambition 2030, Nissan is using next-generation lidar (LIDAR) to develop vehicle control technology to reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. Nissan believes that in the coming era of autonomous driving, assisted driving technology that can avoid complex traffic accidents will be indispensable. Nissan plans to complete the development of ground truth perception technology in the mid-2020s. This technology will be implemented first on some new models and is planned to be applied to all new models by fiscal year 2030.
