Hitachi Automotive Systems (HAS) announced its Advanced Driver Assistance System Electronic Control Unit (ADAS ECU) is fitted in Nissan Motor’s redesigned 2018 Leaf.
ECUs are core products of ADAS and feature multiple integrated driving support systems such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), collision mitigation braking, and lane departure warning systems, all within a single controller.

HAS said it had established a mass production track record for ADAS ECUs since its first installation in the 2009 Nissan Fuga and its ECUs had been used in the Leaf since 2015.
The 2018 Leaf has ProPilot, an autonomous drive technology designed for highway use in single lane traffic, and ProPilot Parking, a full-scale automatic parking system. ProPilot supports drivers by autonomously controlling the accelerator, brake, and steering in two different scenarios: traffic jams and extended periods of high-speed cruising on highways.
ProPilot Parking is the first full scale automatic parking system for Japanese vehicles that automatically controls all parking operations, including the accelerator, brake, steering wheel, gear shift, and parking brake.
The latest Leaf is the third Nissan ProPilot-equipped vehicle model to use the HAS ECU following the redesigned Serena (MPV) in August 2016 and the updated X-Trail in June 2017.
