Autonomous Vehicle News
A government-backed project that trialled a connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) on the roads of London has successfully concluded, providing a blueprint to help get the UK’s cities ‘CAV-ready’. Carried out by a consortium of firms that included Nissan, ServCity completed 1,600 autonomous driving miles during challenging validation tests of future CAV technology. The trials were carried out in a fully electric Nissan Leaf and will accelerate future autonomous mobility in complex urban environments. David Moss, senior vice president, region research & development for Nissan AMIEO, said: “We are extremely proud to be a part of the ServCity project and our 100% electric Nissan Leaf has proven to be the ideal test vehicle. “Through our world-class R&D base in Cranfield in the UK, Nissan is continuously innovating to bring cutting-edge, purpose-driven technologies that benefit our customers.
