Nissan autonomous projectA Nissan-backed autonomous car project has come to a close with a series of tests to look at how self-driving vehicles can cope with busy inner city traffic.\nServCity, a project backed by Nissan and supported by the Government, has seen an electric Leaf cover 1,600 autonomous miles over a three-year period.\nDesigned to look at how UK cities can ‘incorporate advanced autonomous vehicle technologies’.\nUsing a suite of sensors, the car has been tested on the busy roads of central London while being connected to the Smart Mobility Living Lab in Greenwich.\nWith this connection, roadside sensors and data processing technology can ‘talk’ with the car and even inform it about an object which isn’t in the sight line of the vehicle, allowing it to smoothly manoeuvre around it.
