Nissan continues to be at the forefront of technology, implementing the latest in its vehicles to improve entertainment, functionality, durability, and safety. Check out a few of the top Nissan technologies you should know about: more 1. Intelligent Cruise Control While cruise control has been around for many years, Nissan has taken this feature to the next level with intelligent cruise control. It works similarly to regular cruise control but with the addition of the ability to set your preferred distance. This feature can easily be turned on and off with the cruise control button. Set the speed as low as 20 mph or as high as 90 mph, as well as the distance you prefer between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you. 2. Driver Attention Alert Fatigued driving is responsible for many collisions each year. Nissan hopes to minimize this number with the driver attention alert feature. This feature is able to identify when a driver is drowsy and alert them to take action. It actively monitors driving habits, including steering and gas use. By compiling information and better understanding the driving routines of a specific driver, it can identify when the driver is acting differently and potentially losing attention. This feature will chime in, suggesting that you take a break. This system resets each time the engine is turned off. 3. Automatic Emergency Braking Noticing the vehicle in front of you hitting their brakes even a second too late can make it difficult to respond in time. With automatic emergency braking equipped, your vehicle monitors the vehicles in front of you. It provides you with both audio and visual warnings when a vehicle, or person, gets too close. If it detects that a collision is imminent, it begins to engage the brakes, reducing your speed and impact. 4. Around View Monitor The around view monitor is one of the most impressive safety features that Nissan offers. This feature actively monitors the area surrounding your vehicle for any potential collisions. It also features a moving object detection feature that uses four small exterior cameras to produce a 360-degree view. The camera feed is displayed on the driver infotainment system. Drivers can choose either a split screen with multiple views or a full screen with the ability to zoom in. 5. The Future of Nissan Nissan continues to do research and test new technologies. Just a few things to look forward to include the Connect Telematics Systems (CTS), which will enable Nissan Leaf drivers to remotely control their vehicle. The intelligent parking chair is a current project at Nissan. By programming an office chair to move, and ultimately, park, Nissan is studying how to use these technologies to design an automatic parking vehicle. Nissan is also working on new types of vehicle technology, including micro-mobility and a 100% electric-powered vehicle that is ultra-compact and designed for seniors or those who don't spend a lot of time on the road. If technology is important to you when choosing a vehicle, then you will definitely want to check out Nissan vehicles.
