The 2018 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) kicks off tomorrow in Detroit with The Gallery. This exclusive event gives attendees an up-close look at the most exquisite and acclaimed collection of automobiles in the world, totaling $10 million.Â

In preparation for the 2018 NAIAS, Nissan has released a subtle teaser, which is generating a great deal of buzz. Speculation is growing amongst industry insiders as many wonder if Nissan will be unveiling an autonomous concept car at the motor show.

The 42-second video features modernistic artwork, which demonstrates how Nissan is using tradition to bridge to the future of mobility. The message is rather cryptic, but automotive watchers have suggested that the automaker is hinting at an upcoming concept car that combines Nissanâ€™s familiar design cues with all-new self-driving safety technologies.

Many suspect that the concept car will also feature a hybrid or all-electric powertrain, given Nissanâ€™s recent launch of the next-gen Leaf EV, as well as other electric concepts at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show. At the recent 2018 Consumer Electronics Show, the automaker also showcased its â€œBrain-to-Vehicleâ€ autonomous technology, which uses brainpower to perform maneuvers quicker than the human body can react.Â

Needless to say, Nissan has been cooking up an amazing array of innovative technologies that have the automotive industry buzzing with excitement.
