An event held at a Nissan facility here last week showcased the technology’s ability to perform certain automatic collision-avoidance maneuvers in the more complex environment of intersections.
The technology features a new control logic for intersection collision avoidance based on ground-truth perception technology using next-generation LIDAR.
It can detect an object’s speed, location, and potential risk of a collision from a lateral direction.
The system is designed to instantly respond to the changing situation through such steps as emergency application of the brakes or releasing the brakes when the potential risk- has been avoided.
Accidents caused by driver error at intersections can unfortunately result in significant consequences.
The in-development system is being designed to provide improved assistance in difficult situations through advanced sensing and decision-making capabilities.
