Serena minivan coming out to the right from the orange vehicle30. Driver from the driving seat driving the test courseLEADIN: The idea of autonomous self-driving cars may be attractive, but last month's fatal Tesla accident highlighted safety concerns. Now Japanese automaker, Nissan Motor Co. has launched a 'self-driving' minivan with toned down technology. In autodrive mode, drivers must keep their hands on the wheels and be alert at all times. STORYLINE:Nissan has unveiled its latest self-driving vehicle. The Serena minivan equipped with ProPilot technology relies on a single camera in the back of the driver's rearview mirror. The car can then follow the vehicle ahead, maintaining a safe distance that the driver sets.It also recognises lanes, so it won't swerve off. If the car it is following moves to another lane, it's smart enough to find the next car ahead of it and start following that one. And it keeps going on a freeway at a set speed.ProPilot is designed to ease stress on stop-and-go congested roads common in Japan, as well as long drives on clear roads, like the interstate highways in the U.S., when a driver might tire and get sleepy.Nissan announced on Wednesday (13th July 2016) that the minivan will go on sale in Japan next month. The automaker promised similar technology later in China, the U.S. and in the Qashqai sport-utility vehicle in Europe. Specific models weren't disclosed for China and the U.S.But ProPilot is designed only to help drivers. They must keep their hands on the steering wheel, and an alarm goes off if a sensor on the wheel detects no-hands driving.Nissan Motor Co. Deputy General Manager Atsushi Iwaki, a member of ProPilot's development team explains:\"Japanese law does not allow drivers to let go of the steering wheel completely, so I cannot let go, but what I am doing now is that I'm only softly supporting it.\"ProPilot is smarter and a bit more glamorous than cruise control, already in many vehicles, but for all its help, if you slam on the gas pedal, it cannot stop you from crashing into the car you are trailing.\"The driver must assume full responsibility,\" says Atsushi Iwaki \"It is best to limit the function to helping the driver.\"That approach comes as there are still many concerns about the safety of self-driving cars. Last month, in the United States, a Tesla Model S was operating in semi-autonomous autopilot mode when it failed to detect a tractor trailer passing in front of it, crashed and killed the driver.Hans Greimel, is Asia Editor of Automotive News says safety is a key issue. \"In reality, as we saw with the recent Tesla accident, the driver has to remain alert at all times.  And that's something that Nissan was very clear about today that they have to instruct the drivers to remain alert at all times and that they will warn the driver when the driver is not paying attention.\"     Some challenges to autonomous capabilities include dealing with bad weather, which may trouble sensors, as well as making sure pedestrians and cyclists are properly detected. But autonomous capabilities are definitely the way of the future, expected to be in millions of cars in the next decade or two.\"Oh yes, I think definitely this is the direction of the industry.  Everybody is working on these kind of technologies, so you'll see a gradual evolution of this over the next decade or so, with probably some big advances by 2020,\" says Greimel. Nissan, based in Yokohama, is planning autonomous driving for regular city roads by 2020. ProPilot is limited to dealing with the lane the vehicle is in, and on freeways.Some types of limited autonomous car systems are already available on the market in luxury brands. Nissan is keeping ProPilot simple to just one camera to keep the price of the vehicle down at below 3 million yen ($29,000). Other price details were not disclosed.====Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com.
