Nissan's Self Driving Cars To Be Ready By 2020 - Autonomous Would Be The Rulers

Nissan, the Japanese multinational automaker, is here with some awesome news. The company has promised to bring in the market the first "commercially-viable" self-driving car by 2020. Whoa! The last time we checked, Google was in news for its<a href="https://www.crazyengineers.com/threads/googles-self-driving-car-travels-300-000-miles-without-any-accident.66338">Google's Self-Driving Car Travels 300,000 Miles Without Any Accident</a>that travels 300,000 miles without any accident. It was a great achievement but with many shortcomings. The user was required to enter an address in Google maps, after which the system gathers information from Google Street View and combines it with artificial intelligence software, but it could not respond to dynamic situations and thus was not able to deal with snow covered roads or under-construction ones. Anyway, coming back to what Nissan has to offer. The company has said that it will be launching several vehicles will come equipped with its Autonomous Drive technology. That is something to be proud about.

"In 2007 I pledged that – by 2010 – Nissan would mass market a zero-emission vehicle. Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn said in the announcement. Today, the Nissan LEAF is the best-selling electric vehicle in history. Now I am committing to be ready to introduce a new ground-breaking technology, Autonomous Drive, by 2020, and we are on track to realize it." Nissan has begun working with dozens of research and educational institutions to make autonomous vehicles a reality, including MIT, Stanford, UC Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon, Oxford, the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Virginia Tech, and nearly every major university in Japan.

We also recently reported that the Self-Driving car technology may make it to our four wheelers in near future as<a href="https://www.crazyengineers.com/threads/self-driving-car-technology-is-getting-ready-but-will-it-work-in-india.67308">Self-Driving Car Technology Is Getting Ready - But Will It Work In India?</a>to make it work by 2025. So, is there a competition between the giant automaker Nissan and the online tech company Google for making such autonomously driven cars -A difference in approach between Nissan and Google is that Nissan’s system doesn't need to be linked to an Internet-based data system, said Mitsuhiko Yamashita, the company’s executive vice president for research and development. "We don’t count on infrastructure so much. All the technology is in the cars," Yamashita told reporters yesterday.
We are really looking forward to some videos from Nissan's self driving vehicles. How about you? Let us know your opinions in comments.
