KYIV (Ukraine): Nissan, an official sponsor of the UEFA Champions League Final Kyiv 2018, showcased an innovative technology to encourage and excite grassroots football with the world debut of Pitch-R, an autonomous robot that uses Nissan’s ProPILOT driver assistance technology to create a football pitch wherever there’s space.
With onboard four-camera vision, GPS location tracking and collision avoidance systems, Pitch-R draws lines on grass, tarmac or gravel with eco-friendly dissolvable paint. The whole process can take less than 20 minutes.
ProPILOT is a key part of Nissan Intelligent Mobility, the company’s vision for changing how cars are driven, powered and integrated into society.
Nissan also showcased a world-first prototype technology in Kyiv that will enable cars to learn from their drivers. The company’s Brain-to-Vehicle system interprets the driver’s brain waves to predict what actions they intend to take next.
The UEFA Champions League Final in Kyiv marked Nissan’s fourth year as an official sponsor of the competition.
