Sometimes, folks in a big city need the convenience of short-term, on-demand car rental services. As part of their Intelligent Mobility initiative, Nissan is stepping up to the plate in Japan with a vehicle-sharing club that is poised to show off their myriad of advanced technologies.

Beginning on January 15, 2017, Nissanâ€™s car-sharing service, e-shareÂ mobi, will begin operation at 30 locations throughout Kyoto, Shiga, Nara, Tokyo, and other Japanese prefectures. The automaker will leverage their fleet of Note e-POWER and LEAF vehicles to bring their electric and autonomous driving systems to the masses.

Nissanâ€™s e-shareÂ mobi carries no monthly membership fee and zero distance-based fees. Instead, users can register and use the service on their own terms, with their license acting as their club card. Both the LEAF and Note e-POWER vehicles will provide consumers with the manufacturerâ€™s ProPILOT autonomous driving technology and â€œAround View Monitor,â€ offering a virtual birdâ€™s-eye look from above the car. If you're planning a trip to Japan, applications can be filled out here.

Weâ€™ll keep you updated as to whether such a car-sharing service makes it to Seattle and other American cities. In the interim, donâ€™t hesitate to give us a call to discuss Nissanâ€™s ProPILOT technology!
