Nissan has released details on its latest trio of safety-related technologies designed to reduce fatal and serious injuries caused by collisions.
Nissan's "Acceleration Suppression for Pedal Misapplication" technology works to mitigate collisions in confined areas by detecting whether or not the driver actually intended to step on the accelerator pedal. This system relies on four Around View Monitors that detect nearby objects and limit the response of the accelerator pedal if necessary
Next in line is Nissan's "Multi-Sensing System with Rear Camera." This technology again uses the automaker's Around View Monitors to detect pedestrians, vehicles and road conditions to alert drivers of collision risks. This system features blind-spot warning, moving-object detection and lane-departure warning and will be installed in select models beginning in 2012.
Last, but certainly not least, is Nissan's "Predictive Forward Collision Warning System." This advanced bit of tech works to prevent pileup accidents resulting from the rapid deceleration of vehicles. A sensor determines the velocity of the vehicle in front and responds, if needed, by audibly warning the driver of a looming collision and by tensioning the seat belts.
Safety, it seems, is paramount, with most all automakers rightfully investing heavily in gadgets and tech designed to keep drivers, well, driving. See the full press release worth of details after the break.
