Recently Nissan asked its fans on Facebook to choose the soundtrack to its new TV commercial for the Nissan Juke. The idea is part of a wider strategy to interact with customers in a fun and engaging way.

Since the launch in 2010, Nissan Juke has sold over 68,000 cars across Europe and has a market share of 1.86% in B segment. Positioned as a car that stimulates infectious energy within the urban space, Nissan Juke has already made inroads into the music scene through the‘Juke Rocks’ campaign. So the idea of getting music fans to pick the advertising soundtrack is a normal progression.

More than 45,000 fans from over 14 countries voted for their favourite from two final entries – a re-energised version of the current soundtrack, “Twinkle Twinkle” performed by Fredrika Stahl, or a dynamic electronic alternative called “Manners”. With just three days to respond, the interactive application received a thousand hits and fans picked the classic lullaby, which Nissan then re-mixed with a rising star of the French electro scene, Data. The result can be seen and heard in cinemas, on television and on You Tube at: www.youtube.com/nissanjuke.

Nissan’s commitment to music-loving Facebook fans includes an innovative competition called Juke Rocks. Four European bands – Pony Pony Run Run from France, The Pinker Tones from Spain, Germany’s Bakkushan and The Visitors Attack from Italy – were challenged to perform three gigs in three different city venues in three hours on the same night, creating an urban music video or staging a flashmob gig.

The video content was published on YouTube as well as on the Facebook pages of Nissan and each of the four bands. Fans voted The Pinker Tones as the most energetic band, and they will perform a special gig in Barcelona on July 13 to celebrate. The campaign attracted more than 76,000 votes with 43,000 in favour of The Pinker Tones. Overall the campaign resulted in more than 8 million video views.

Laurent de la Cortardiere, Vice President of Nissan Europe said, “The Nissan Juke experience is about engaging with customers in an unusual way. Music gets us in tunewith the fans and allows them to become part of the campaign.”Find out more about Nissan Juke, Fredrika Stahl (on tour in France throughout the summer) and Data on the following websites:

Nissan Drunk-driving Prevention Concept Car

Nissan has developed a new concept car with multiple preventive features against drunk-driving, as part of a series of preventive measures. The concept car is designed to detect the driver’s condition, to set the driver free from manual operation. If the system detects that there is a possibility the driver has drunk, warnings are issued to the driver to stop the car.

Features

Detection using alcohol odor sensors

A hi-sensitivity alcohol sensor is built into the transmission shift knob, which is able to detect the presence of alcohol in the perspiration of the driver’s palm as he or she attempts to start driving. When the alcohol-level detected is above the pre-determined threshold, the system automatically locks the transmission, immobilizing the car. A “drunk-driving” voice alert is also issued via the car navigation system.

Additional alcohol odor sensors are also incorporated into the driver’s and passenger seats to detect the presence of alcohol in the air inside the vehicle cabin. When alcohol is detected, the system issues both a voice alert and a message alert on the navigation system monitor.

Detection using facial monitoring system

A camera is mounted on the instrument cluster facing the driver to monitor the driver’s face. The system is calibrated to monitor the driver’s state of consciousness through the blinking of the eyes. When the system detects signs of drowsiness, a voice and message alert is triggered via the navigation system. Additionally, a seat-belt mechanism is activated which tightens around the driver to gain his or her immediate attention.

Detection of the driver’s state from the Driving behavior

By constantly monitoring the operational behavior of the vehicle (e.g. sensing if the vehicle is drifting out of its driving lane), the system can identify signs of inattentiveness or distraction in the driver. When the system detects such behavior, voice and message alerts are issued via the navigation system. The seatbelt alert mechanism is also activated, tightening around the driver to gain immediate attention.

System configuration
