Nissan 'IDS Concept' Electric Car

A vision of autonomous driving in future: Nissan IDS Concept

At the Tokyo Motor Show 2015, Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. unveiled a concept vehicle with autonomous driving and zero emission. Presenting at the show , Nissan president and CEO Carlos Ghosn said: "Nissan's forthcoming technologies will revolutionize the relationship between car and driver, and future mobility."

The sleek automobile comes in two modes: Manual and Piloted

Vehicles one with fully capable of autonomous driving would be on sale by 2020. The IDS is an conceptual vehicle but its 60 kWh is still conceptual. The IDS Concept previews key engineering and design technology to be incorporated on future Nissan vehicles. This includes carbon-fiber construction, and a compact aerodynamic shape with fin like vertical fenders front and rear.

It has 2 stages of autonomous driving, which mirrors Nissan's plans to introduce this technology. The company plans to introduce a degree of autonomous driving it calls Piloted Drive by 2016; technology that can maintain station in a single lane by itself. That system could then be upgraded into merging motorway and changing lane by itself.

"Nissan Intelligent Driving improves a driver's ability to see, think and react," Ghosen said, "It compensates for human error, which causes more than 90% of all car accidents. As a result, tme spent behind the wheel is safer, cleaner and more efficient."
