Earlier this month, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. revealed their intentions to join forces with Expo 2020 Dubai to push forward the future of autonomous driving machines.

Announced at the Expo 2020 Dubaiâ€™s Official Premier Partner event, the union is set to advance Intelligent Mobility with a new fleet of upcoming all-electric vehicles. The Japanese automaker will act as the Official Automotive Partner for the event that year, showcasing their technologies and pushing the adoption of efficient cars throughout the region.

The Expo 2020 Dubai Nissan fleet is set to feature the support of roughly 1,000 vehicles, both in preparation and delivery of the event. Trucks, buses, cars, and SUVs will all be used for the proceedings. Usage will vary but will include display purposes, VIP visits, participant and organizer transport, and construction needs.

Also at the Official Premier Partner event, Nissan unveiled the next-generation LEAF for Middle Eastern markets. The 2018 model will feature an efficient 40-kilowatt lithium-ion battery and a 150-mile range, as well as advanced technologies such as ProPILOT Assist for adaptive cruise control and single lane autonomous driving.

Only days ago, Nissan took to the roads of Tokyo in a public display of their design and engineering prowess. Piloting a prototype vehicle, the manufacturer showed off their most advanced autonomous driving system everâ€”and itâ€™s scheduled for real-world deployment in Seattle and elsewhere in 2020.

Nissanâ€™s next-generation ProPILOT technology builds upon the current system employed in the Nissan LEAF, X-Trail, Rogue, and Serena. The upcoming version, however, will go beyond simple single-lane autonomous driving. Instead, the new standard will enable such cruising on multi-lane urban streets and even highways.

Next-gen ProPILOT will ferry passengers automatically to their destination from start (when they enter the location in their navigation system) to finish, no matter the roads involved. It will manage this tremendous feat through the utilization of six laser scanners, nine millimeter-wave radars, 12 cameras and sonars each, and a high-definitionÂ mapÂ used to navigate through rapidly changing traffic patterns. Software optimizations will also allow for real-time adjustments to any obstacles in your path.

The future is arriving sooner than you think. Ring us at Kirkland Nissan today to discuss these exciting technological developments!
