Younger Nissan of Frederick

Sep 30, 2016

Autonomous Driving Technology has been long in the works for Nissan as they continue looking for ways to create more ways to promote the benefits of Intelligent Mobility. In fact, the brand has already introduced their flagship autonomous driving technology ProPILOT which has since been the inspiration to several other autonomous technologies. The company previously introduced the Intelligent Parking Chair which uses sensors to autonomously return to its original position once it is no longer in use.

Now, they have introduced their latest innovation, the ProPILOT Chair! This chair is designed predominantly to cater to individuals who are waiting in line by providing them with a chair that will allow they to sit while they wait but still move forward in the line. The technology in this chair are similar to its namesake autonomous technology, ProPILOT which us used to detect the distance between a vehicle and the one in front of you so that it maintains a safe distance at all times while keeping you moving forward.

Nissan has taken this same idea and put it into the creation of a chair that detects the distance between itself and the chair next to it so it the front chair moves then the next chair will automatically move the same distance. The idea is that these chairs will keep moving forward in line for you so that you can sit back and relax while you wait. Find out more on the video below:
