Nissan has released a new infographic about autonomous driving. Infographics are great because they offer bite sized pieces of information in a visually pleasing format. Since autonomous driving is intimidating to many this method of delivery is sure to convert some who are wary. We break the information down for you below.
Why do we need autonomous driving? In one word, less. Less accidents, wasted time, cost, and emissions. Seems like a win-win-win-win to us.
What does autonomous driving mean? Right now, there are five levels of autonomous driving ranging from assisted to fully automated. We’re still hovering between levels one and two.
How does autonomous driving work? It’s both simple and complicated, kind of like how we drive. The car senses its surrounding situation and makes an inference. It then decides what to do using an algorithm and computer and then performs an action based on the algorithm.
What can it do? Right now, our cars can recognize vehicles around us and lane markers. They can also detect when a vehicle crosses the lane markers. Expect the capabilities to expand rapidly.
The last block on the infographic illustrates what Nissan wants to achieve in the near future. In short, they want to launch 10 models with autonomous driving capabilities before 2020 which have the ability for single- and multi-lane control as well as city driving.
