Nissan NSC-2015 Self-Driving Car
Nissan NSC-2015 futuristic concept car that drives and parks itself at the command of the real person behind the wheels. Nissan NSC-2015 was part of the Smart Mobility Zero exhibit at the annually-held CEATEC in Japan.
The car's unique technology revolves around on-board cameras and sensors, various computers and cloud connectivity. It allows users to easily park their car by simply hopping out in a parking lot entrance and hitting the park button as indicated in a smartphone app. The car then drives off, locates an unoccupied parking space and parks itself, literally speaking. When you need your car back, you can call your car with one touch of a button and wait for it to appear right where you're standing.
Though its speed reaches only 5km/h (3mph), at least it only shows that Nissan is being cautious with the car's fledgling technology where a dreaded computer malfunction can occur. In this event, the company wouldn't at all means want to have their prototype get out of their sight if it drives at a very high speed.
Currently, the NSC-2015 isn't ready to hit parking lots and public roads just yet. The technology allows it to park itself in a sensor-filled parking lot. The company is targeting to eliminate such boundaries by 2015.
