“ProPilot is a breakthrough technology and an important building block for fully autonomous vehicles under our Nissan Intelligent Mobility vision,” said Nissan executive vice president Daniele Schillaci. “It delivers a much more exciting drive, so it’s no surprise that it has received such strong, early customer acceptance. ProPilot is another example of how we’re delivering exciting technologies today through Nissan Intelligent Mobility that will move everyone to a better world.”

Nissan’s ProPilot technology enables vehicles to operate autonomously during single-lane driving on the highway, helping support safer driving and easing the driver’s workload in heavy traffic or on long commutes. Employing advanced image-processing technology, ProPilot understands road and traffic situations and executes precise steering, enabling the vehicle to perform naturally and delivering a human-like driving feel that gives passengers peace of mind.

ProPilot is described by Nissan as extremely user-friendly, with an intuitive interface and a switch on the steering wheel for easy activation and deactivation.

Nissan introduced ProPilot for the first time in Japan in August 2016, in the Nissan Serena minivan. The system was made available in the updated Nissan X-Trail and the new Nissan Leaf in 2017. Nissan has sold more than 72,000 vehicles with ProPilot in Japan.
