Nissan’s Improved Cruise Control Adapts To Other Drivers

There are many new advancements coming to Nissan models this year, thanks to the time and money the company has invested into developing autonomous cars. Many features such as blind spot recognition have stemmed from this development, as engineers searched for a way to recognize if a car was in an adjacent lane. More and more of these autonomous features are being integrated into the 2018 lineup, such as the Nissan E-Pedal which improves regenerative braking. The latest advancement is an updated adaptive cruise and lane control system, so be on the lookout for the 2018 models arriving soon at Coast Nissan in San Luis Obispo, CA.

Adaptive Cruise Control

Cruise control is a fantastic feature that makes driving on highways or long distances much easier on the driver. By simply accelerating to your desired speed and activating it, you can cruise along without needing to worry. The only time you need to slow down is if a car is moving slowly in front of you, but adaptive cruise control can automatically do this. Coupled with lane management technology, the adaptive system can keep you centered in the lane and automatically adjust the speed of the car to fit whoever you are following.

ProPilot Assist

While adaptive cruise control may seem like it’s a self-driving feature, it is meant to be an assistance system where the driver remains engaged with the road. It can offer a relief during heavy traffic or on road trips, but drivers still need to pay attention and remained focus. Road conditions can change in an instant, and even the best adaptive cruise control system can’t account for every scenario. Nissan commented that, “The driver’s role hasn’t changed. We are just providing assistance.”

Skim Boarding At Pismo Beach

Surfing is skillful art that takes time to master and can be hard to learn for beginners. Fortunately, Pismo Beach offers a unique alternative known as skim boarding that is best described as a cross between surfing and skateboarding. While surfing takes place in deeper water and with larger waves, skim boarding can be done right on the shoreline in just a couple of inches of water. Riders wait for the waves to come in and break the tide line, then jump on their boards and skim across the shallow water. It’s a surprising amount of fun and easy to learn.

Lopez Lake

Not all waterfront fun needs to take place at the ocean; the Lopez Lake Recreation Area is one of the top locations for rest and relaxation. With over 22 miles of shoreline and water temperatures that hover around 70 degrees, this small lake is perfect for cooling off or trying out a new water sport.

A Few Tips From Coast Nissan To Keep Your Teen Driving Safely

With school out and summer fun in full swing, your teen is most likely cruising around town and meeting up with friends. San Luis Obispo, CA has all sorts of fun activities and events for kids to participate in, as well as fantastic restaurants to eat at once they are done. At Coast Nissan, we know driving can be a bit hectic with extra passengers, so here are a few reminders so everyone can have a safe driving experience.

Distracted Driving

Distracted driving is a huge problem not only for teens but all drivers, and is one of the leading causes of accidents in the United States. A phone call or random text can wait until you are finished driving; traffic on a highway can change in an instant and it only takes a brief look away to get in trouble. If you have a passenger, consider giving them the phone if navigation is needed.

Weather

Hazardous road conditions can be caused or made worse by bad weather, so it is important to take a look at the forecast before heading out. Take special care on roads with construction or narrow lanes, and always leave extra distance behind cars as your brakes are less effective on watery roads. If the weather gets too bad, consider pulling off the road or not heading out until the storm passes by.

Seat Belts

They can be easy to forget, but seat belts can save the lives of everyone in the car in the event of a collision. It is required by law, and you should always make sure every passenger has fastened their safety harness before taking off. A well maintained and properly serviced car is the safest option for any driver, and at Coast Nissan, we also provide exceptional Nissan service that will keep the car running smoothly. Whether you need an oil change or new tires, our experts will ensure your car is ready to drive on the open road, and you can even schedule an appointment ahead of time at www.coastnissan.com.

Nissan Reveals Autonomous Parking Feature

The Nissan Leaf has always been on the forefront of technology since its release. It was one of the first electric cars on the market, and has always been offered at an affordable price. This way all consumers can benefit from zero emission driving and not need to fill up every week at the gas station. Nissan has slowly been teasing the features on the upcoming Nissan Leaf, and recently revealed a new technology that will make parking a quick and automated process: the ProPilot Park. Here is a quick look at this feature that will be implemented on new models in the coming future at Coast Nissan, the best dealership in San Luis Obispo, CA.

ProPilot

The ProPilot Park will be a new addition to the suite of ProPilot features that you can already find on many Nissan cars. The ProPilot system makes the car function much like an autonomous car on the highway, and is designed for use in single-lane highway conditions. Using various cameras and sensors, this system can monitor the car’s position in the lane as well as the speed and proximity to other vehicles. This allows it to compensate for changes in speed of nearby cars and adjust the brake and accelerator accordingly, functioning like an advanced cruise control system.

Autonomous Parking

Having to parallel park on a busy street or crowded parking lot can often be difficult, but the ProPilot Parking system ensures a smooth and precise park in even the smallest spaces. Once activated, it guides the car using both cameras and sonar and automatically controls the accelerator and steering inputs. Nissan is also working to expand this system in the future to navigate city intersections.

To see why Nissan cars offer the best in luxury and practical features, come test drive any model at Coast Nissan. We also offer fast and affordable Nissan service and great summer savings options, so visit us in store or online at www.coastnissan.com.

Enjoy The Best BBQ in SLO Town At These Restaurants

Barbecue is one of the best summer foods for both kids and adults. Restaurants around San Luis Obispo are serving up all kinds of smoked meats, including sauce covered ribs and moist chicken. With a variety of sauces and meats to choose from you can create your own combination of tastes, just remember to grab plenty of napkins. It’s the perfect fun and messy food to enjoy after a day at the beach, so here are a couple of Coast Nissan’s top spots to visit around San Luis Obispo, CA.

Old San Luis Obispo BBQ Co.

It takes years of experience in order to season and cook the barbecue meats perfectly, and these folks have been perfecting their authentic Santa Maria style barbecue since 2001. The chicken and pulled pork are house favorites, which pair magnificently with their tangy barbecue sauce. The tri-tip beef sandwich and the chicken sandwich are popular for people who order to go, and for dessert they have several interesting milkshake flavors like chocolate-bacon. On most days they stay open past midnight, so you can fill that barbecue crave at any time of the day. They also have a delivery option so you can get great food brought right to your door.

Firestone Grill

Firestone became famous for one major reason: their irresistible tri-tip sandwich. With beef that has been cooked to perfection, piled high on a crunchy French roll and smothered in heavenly barbecue sauce, this sandwich should be the first one you try at Firestone. They also offer several salads and lighter options if you aren’t as hungry, and their large menu means even picky eaters will be satisfied.

Rick Kulach, Manager of Nissan North America Motorsports, said: “This team knew what it had to do at Sonoma, and that is finish as high as possible, take away points and bring the cars home in one piece. They did just that, and they were as fast as they could be on a tight circuit while keeping the cars mechanically sound and basically ready to race in two weeks down the coast. This team knows how to win championships. We may not get it this season, but look out next year.” If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:
