Everything You Need to Know about Nissan ProPilot 2.0

Nissan ProPilot 2.0 is a semi-autonomous driving system that allows you to take your hands off the steering wheel. It's an advanced form of adaptive cruise control and lane centring, and it can be used on highways, city streets and country roads.

It doesn't replace all of the driver's responsibilities though - it's not a fully self-driving system. You should always remain alert, keep both hands on the wheel, and pay attention to what's happening around you.

Here are some things you need to know about Nissan ProPilot 2.0:

●     It can steer itself in traffic at speeds up to 80 km/h (50 mph) with no action required by the driver (called Autonomous Drive). At higher speeds, it can follow the car ahead at a distance of up to 200 meters (656 feet) at speeds up to 210 km/h (131 mph).

●     The system uses three types of sensors - 360-degree cameras, radar and ultrasonic sensors - to detect other vehicles, pedestrians or other hazards nearby or within blind spots behind or beside your vehicle. It then alerts you when it detects something that could cause an accident so that you can take over driving right away if necessary.

Where can I use the Nissan ProPilot?

You can use Nissan ProPilot in the United States, Canada and Japan on highways with clear lane markings (not including exit ramps or intersections). It will also work in "slow-moving traffic" on two-lane roads with no centre divider or median barrier, as long as they're generally straight and flat.

How does it work?

Nissan ProPilot takes over steering, acceleration and braking in these situations where conditions permit — for example when traffic is moving slowly or stopped ahead of you. It also helps keep your car centred within its lane at speeds up to 110 mph (177 km/h).

Second-generation

The second-generation technology is being introduced in a wide range of Nissan vehicles across its model lines, including the Rogue, Leaf and Pathfinder. It’s also available in two new vehicles: the all-electric eNV200 Van and the electric car based on the IDS concept car.

The most advanced version of ProPilot on the 2020 Altima (and Rogue and Murano) uses cameras and sensors to monitor the road ahead, plus another camera that looks down at the lane markings. A computer then compares what it sees with what it expects to see based on its own calculations — like how much room you need to stay in your lane.

ProPilot 2.0 is based on technologies that have been around for years. Its predecessor, ProPilot Assist, was introduced in 2017 on the Rogue crossover that you can also rent from rentalcarsuae.com SUV and Pathfinder midsize SUV. It was upgraded last year to ProPilot 2.0 on most Nissan models sold in the U.S., including the Altima sedan, Maxima sedan and Murano crossover SUV.

Stop-and-go traffic and on highways

Nissan says it can be used in stop-and-go traffic and on highways, but it's not intended for use in city traffic and heavy congestion. And it should not be used in wintry conditions or on roads covered with ice or snow.
