    I’ve tried Nissan’s latest advanced driverless technology – and it handles 60mph on rural roads better than most humans



    • Nissan will offer driverless mobility service in Japan by 2027
    • Latest research project tackles tricky rural environments
    • Autonomous services to be rolled out in the UK and Europe

    Nissan has been busy working on advanced levels of autonomous driving over the past eight years, racking up thousands of driverless miles in the UK, Japan and the US without incident and proving that its systems can work in the city, as well as in much trickier rural areas.

    This week, the company has announced that it will offer its Easy Ride fully autonomous mobility service in Yokohama’s Minato Mirai area by 2027, becoming the first service in Japan to ferry people around a city without a human behind the wheel.

    The project has been a collaboration between its numerous engineers in Tokyo, Silicon Valley in the US and Cranfield in the UK, where the team has just completed what it feels is its final phase of autonomous testing before readying its own driverless services in the UK and Europe.

    “It is all well and good creating an autonomous vehicle that works in the sunshine and wide roads of the US or Japan, but let’s see if you can make it work on a country road in Britain,” Robert Bateman, Manager of Nissan’s Research and Advanced Engineering team, explained.
