Technology:
Nissan
will construct a system to help Internet companies worldwide develop various
applications for electric vehicle (EV) by providing them with the traveling
data of its Leaf. The Leaf will have a function to send various data wirelessly
to Nissan’s data center. Such data as location information, travel distance, and
standing time will be provided to outside software developers for the
development of software and services for smartphone. Nissan will get data usage
fee from the outside software developers.
New
services that Nissan wishes to explore include applying Leaf’s storage battery
to smart grids, distributing discount information of restaurants in real time
with the help of location service, and establishing a discount parking fee for
a Leaf that offers electricity while being in a pay parking lot. The idea is to
make a Leaf a traveling power source. Nisan currently utilizes Lead’s travel
data for the improvement of maintenance and product innovation. Nissan sold
more than 60,000 Leaves worldwide. With Nissan’s innovation, merger between car and the
Internet will surely accelerate.
