Beep, Beep! Dro’s Review: Nissan Intelligent Mobility

Nissan presented its vision on the future of automotive lifestyle at the Blognone Tomorrow conference in Bangkok, Thailand.

At that event, Nissan showed its technological advancements under Nissan Intelligent Mobility – Intelligent Power, Intelligent Driving and Intelligent Integration to its growing millennial audience. The Nissan Intelligent Mobility is about building a better future for Nissan customers where the cars are partners and where the drivers are more confident and more connected.

Beep, Beep! Let’s make it clear. Nissan develops systems which are going to give more confident feels to their customer and respectively drivers. This means that Nissan’s customers and drivers are unconfident and probably it’s not a good idea to drive anything, even a bike.

Another question about this technology is: How do these unconfident customers and drivers will get driving license?! Depending of the countries and somewhere states, there are still driving exams. If somebody is unconfident and can’t show some knowledge and good driving practices he/she won’t be able to drive anything.

However, a lot of car makers develop autonomous driving cars and they want to improve safety with zero fatalities which is a very good idea and it’s another point of the Nissan Intelligent Mobility. As I see all these things, the cars are going to be driven by itself and everybody in the car will be passenger connected to the car with a social account. The car itself could follow the road to make decisions when to overtake as it can communicate with other cars and respectively drivers.

A driver in a car A chats with a driver in a car B:

- Can my car overtake your car?

- Yhea, it’s ok.

However, I do like the new technologies which are good to help the driver but to make the driver more like a passenger isn’t for me. If these technologies are going to be improved, which probably is going to happen, the cars will be just devices connected to your smartphone to transfer you from point A to point B. Actually I’ll found a company which produces a smartphone which you can ride.

The final step of this technology revolution is called Nissan Brain-to-Vehicle or B2V. It’s Artificial Intelligence that your brain communicates with the car! It’s a world’s first AI-power system that allows your brain to interact with the vehicle. Genius!

This Nissan technology is a result of a research using brain decoding technology to predict the driver’s actions and detect discomfort:

Predict: By catching signs that the driver’s brain is about to initiate a movement – such as turning the steering wheel or pushing the accelerator pedal – driver assist technologies can begin the action more quickly. This can improve reaction times and enhance manual driving.

Detect: By detecting and evaluating driver discomfort, artificial intelligence can change the driving configuration or driving style when in autonomous mode.  

If I am on a long trip and I have need to stop for a toilet. Probably, the system will detect some discomfort. If there is a slow vehicle and I would like to overtake that car, and the AI detects this toilet discomfort, what would happen? Does it would say: you can’t make this overtake because you are discomforted?

Let’s say some good points about this technology. If the system works correctly it could take actions such as turning the steering wheel or slowing the car as fast as 0.2 to 0.5 seconds faster than the driver. This is a good safety feature.

One more thing:

For example, the technology can use augmented reality to adjust what the driver sees and create a more relaxing environment.
