Self-driving car tech could add to congestion and bring new dangers, say MPs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nForming part of Nissan\u2019s Ambition 2030 long-term vision, the development phase of the project has been up and running since July, with Leaf EVs being used in simulation scenarios and on private test tracks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Initial testing is expected to take a few more months, after which Nissan will challenge its Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV) on a variety of urban and complex rural roads.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Using infrastructure such as CCTV in residential areas, the evolvAD CAVs will be able to receive information to improve situational awareness on the road. Nissan\u2019s engineers will also look\u00a0to learn from any on-road data and create a better understanding of how vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) technologies can be enhanced.<\/p>\n
Nissan will also trial the system on more challenging rural roads to see how autonomous driving technology copes with the move away from straighter A-roads and motorways.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn our previous research projects, our AD team and partners have tackled highways and complex city environments. Now we move onto our next challenge \u2013 built up residential streets and rural roads.\u201d said Robert Bateman, evolvAD Project Manager. \u201cTo bring autonomous driving to market, we must test and trial the technology on as many different road types as possible and that\u2019s why projects like evolvAD are so important.\u201d<\/p>\n
The announcement comes after Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida stated that Nissan would continue with its plans to go all-electric by 2030, despite the government pushing back on its net-zero strategy and extending the timeline to 2035.<\/p>\n
