Yesterday at the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nissan and NASA Ames Research Center announced the extension and expansion of their collaborative effort to advance autonomous driving services worldwide. The refreshed initiative will pull upon previous work to lead the companies into 2019.

The five-year R&D partnership has seen the two corporations team up to enhance shared technology. It birthed Nissan Seamless Autonomous Mobility (SAM), a platform for vehicle fleet management that was introduced at CES 2017 and has its origins in NASA research. With this latest phase official and announced, SAM is set to help organize self-driving transportation services ahead of public implementation testing.

On a broader scale, the extended collaboration will evolve the car industry and Nissan Intelligent Mobility, including its â€œDriveâ€ and â€œPowerâ€ technologies. These include the automakerâ€™s ProPILOT autonomous system and all-electric vehicles such as the upcoming 2018 LEAF. The former includes automatic lane centering as well as the ePedal, which enables operators to accelerate, stop, and go using only one input. The latter is the companyâ€™s zero-emissions EV boasting a new 150-mile range.

The future of mobility is almost upon us! Nissan is ready to wow the world this week with their appearance at the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which is scheduled to start today in Las Vegas. Occupying the stand at booth 5431, the manufacturer promises to highlight the following exciting advancements:

Â

Brain-to-Vehicle Technology. B2V is set to be integrated into future automobile systems. It assists with driving by learning from the operator, literally reading mind waves and taking actions on your behalf, such as accelerating or braking. It can perform these functions 0.2 to 0.5 seconds faster on average than youâ€™d be able to do it yourself!â€¨
Â
The 2018 Nissan LEAF. This all-new, zero-emissions vehicle will lean on ProPILOT technologies to offer semi-autonomous driving. Additionally, the EV will feature an increased range of 150 miles on one charge, as well as improved power plant output of 147 HP and 236-lb.-ft. of torque.
Â
The Nissan IMx. This concept vehicle is poised to change the way you drive. Itâ€™s fully autonomous, enabling owners to select the â€œPD Modeâ€ and kick back and relax. From there, the car hides the steering wheel, reclines the seats, and the computer takes over all functions. More details are unknown at this time, but that may change at the conference!â€¨â€¨
