Nissan Motor Co. has introduced ProPilot, its limited autonomous driving system, in Japan aboard the company's redesigned Serena minivan.
ProPilot enables the van to drive automatically within its own lane at speeds as great as 100 kph (62 mph). The system also slows and accelerates according to the movement of the vehicle ahead but is unable to automatically change lanes. Drivers must maintain a grip on the steering wheel at all times to activate the feature.
Nissan is offering ProPilot in Japan as part of a 243,00-yen ($2,400) package. The company forecasts a 40% take rate for the feature, but it says about 70% of pre-ordered Serenas include the technology.
