Nissan Intelligent Mobilityâ€™s efforts with the IMs represent a future wherein we move toward a sustainable mobile society that is driven by all-electric vehicles that specialize in autonomous capabilities. In fact, the IMs can go into a fully autonomous mode itself, although the manual modeâ€™s attractions are nothing to sneeze at, either.

First, letâ€™s discuss that manual mode. It enables the driver to go hands-on in a traditional fashion; however, thereâ€™s a boatload of advanced driver-assistance technologies at work here. All components and information are smartly integrated into a two-layer floating instrument-panel display that shows off all pertinent vehicle information while also giving a full, camera-fueled view of the world around the concept car whenever you call upon it. Youâ€™ll always know whatâ€™s going on around you!

Of course, things get really interesting when you switch over to the autonomous driving mode. The Nissan IMsâ€™ steering wheel retracts, as do all the powertrain-related components, opening up the cabin and offering greater passenger area. The front seats pivot inward to face the back seatsâ€”smart! Additionally, the headlamps and taillights on the exterior turn blue and begin blinking, thereby notifying pedestrians of your vehicle status.

Give us a call at Kirkland Nissan nowâ€”weâ€™d love to chat about this concept! In the interim, we encourage you to check out our current inventory.
