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.
