Technology:
Nissan developed a
system to turn a steering wheel automatically when a car comes across with a
possible collision caused by a person suddenly rushing out in front of the car.
The system automatically applies the brake and turns a steering wheel when it perceives
a possible collision. A radar and a camera are installed on the front and a
radar is installed on the both sides of the rear, and the system analyzes information
in every 0.1 second to detect the existence of an obstacle. It is designed to help
a car driver avoid a rear-end car collision in a traffic jam.
The new system is
named the “Emergency Steering Avoidance System.” The margin that allows a car
to avoid a possible collision is 150 m to the front, 20 m to the both sides, and
70 m to the rear. The new system is scheduled to be preinstalled in Nissan’s new
cars beginning in 2015. Nissan also developed a technology to convert the
intention of the driver to electronic signals and transmit them to the tires for
the first time in the world. Toyota is reportedly developing a system that
allows a car to return to the original lane if it swerves from a lane. Fuji
Heavy already introduced new cars with a system to avoid a collision using a
camera installed on the front of the car.
