Nissan has always remained ahead of the curve when it comes to innovative technologies and safety features. And now, they are projecting even further into the future by announcing that they will expand their Safety Shield 360 suite of features and driver-assist technologies to all of their top-selling models in North America.

According to the automaker, the Safety Shield 360 will boast six standard features that will protect drivers and passengers from all sides of the vehicle:

â€¢ In the front, the system will offer Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning and High Beam Assist.

â€¢ All sides will be equipped with Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.Â

â€¢ In the back, Rear Automatic Braking will prevent collisions with stationary objects.

The decision to include these standard technologies was made by Nissan as a response to a recent study conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). According to their findings, cross traffic alert reduces crashes by 22 percent, while the combination of rearview cameras and sensors reduces crashes by 42 percent. Adding rear emergency braking reduces backing crashes by an additional 78 percent compared to vehicles without these features.

Currently, Safety Shield 360 will be introduced as standard equipment on SV and SL grades of the forthcoming 2019 Rogue, 2019 Rogue Sport and the all-new 2019 Altima. Remaining vehiclesÂ are expected to include this upgrade by 2021.
