Nissan Updates Its LIDAR-Based ADAS Technology With Intersection Collision Avoidance
The technology can detect an object’s speed, location, and potential risk of a collision from a lateral direction.
The technology incorporates a new control logic for intersection collision avoidance that is based on ground-truth perception technology and next-generation LIDAR. It can detect an object's speed, location, and potential collision risk from a lateral angle.
The system is designed to respond instantly to changing situations by performing actions such as emergency braking or releasing the brakes when the potential risk- has been avoided.
Senior Vice President Takao Asami, head of Nissan’s Research and Advanced Engineering Division, says, “We are on course to develop collision-avoidance technology utilising next-generation LIDAR technology by the mid-2020s. Aiming to develop future autonomous driving technologies that customers can use with peace of mind, Nissan is working to fully understand the entire range of accident scenarios by analyzing complex accidents that occur in the real world. Our efforts are aimed to substantially improve accident avoidance.”
Intersection accidents caused by driver error can have serious consequences. As a result, the in-development system is being designed to provide enhanced assistance in difficult situations via advanced sensing and decision-making capabilities.
