Nissan and Infiniti are developing active safety technologies to ensure their car is best in the safety. Nissan Vision2012 is the company goal to halve the number of serious injury occur in its vehicle. Their aim is to reduce the number to zero and it ain’t easy task. They need to design more rigid and safer car. The technology features :-
Lane departure warning and prevention – using a rear-mounted camera, the vehicle can detect when it’s leaving its lane without indicating. It will audibly and visually warn the driver and help pull the vehicle back in to its line. This is helpful in case the driver is distracted and the vehicle leaves its lane unexpectedly.
Distance control assist – helps keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front, great for smart cruise control that can flow with traffic without driver input.
Forward collision warning – similar to Volvo’s city safe, the system can detect a potential collision and give early warnings to increase the likelihood of preventing an accident altogether.
Blind spot warning & intervention – using the same rear camera as lane departure warning, the system can detect a vehicle in its blind spot and provide a visual warning at first and intervene to prevent you merging into another vehicle.
Around view monitor (bird’s eye view) – giving the driver a clear bird’s eye view of what’s around the car, great for parking or reversing out of the garage.
Moving object detection – pedestrian and vehicle detection technology.
