According to a recent press release, Nissan is planning to expand its innovative ProPILOT Assist semi-autonomous driving system to additional models. The first U.S. Nissan to have the equipment added is the Rogue Sport, beginning in late 2018.
Â
To date, ProPILOT Assist is offered on more than 120,000 vehicles sold around the world with customers taking a fast liking to the technology. Expanding the semi-autonomous driving system to other Nissan models, like the Rogue Sport, is only going to continue to grow. Additional vehicles will adopt the technology, expanding to 20 models and 20 markets within the next four years. This is all part of the automaker's midterm plan, dubbed Nissan M.O.V.E. to 2022.
Â
"ProPILOT Assist is an iconic technology for Nissan Intelligent Mobility, [our] vision of how vehicles are powered, driven and integrated into society," said Philippe Klein, Nissan's Chief Planning Officer. "Its acceptance by consumers has been beyond expectations, and we're pleased to expand its availability to more popular models, such as Altima, X-Trail and Rogue Sport."
