Nissan NSC-2015 self-driving car with LTE and smartphone connectivity (test-ride with video)
Posted in: Today's Chili 
NCC-1701 is the machine that took the world’s imaginations to strange new worlds in the ’60s. If Nissan has its way, NSC-2015 will be the machine that keeps us out of strange new parking lots. It’s a concept car from Nissan, part of the CEATEC 2012 Smart Mobility Zero exhibit that has half the show floor covered by crazy electric-powered cars of all shapes and sizes. Nissan’s Leaf is one of the more conventional looking ones, but the technology that lets it drive itself down the road is far from standard. We just took it for a spin, so please cruise down past the break to read how it went.

[CEATEC 2012] At CEATEC this year, Nissan unveiled its automated driving vehicle – the NSC-2015, an electric vehicle that can drive itself without anyone behind the wheel. It features a remote monitoring system that recognizes the surrounding environment through the use of an all-around view camera and 4G connectivity. Instead of only relying on GPS to pinpoint the car’s location, the cameras allow the car to recognize its surrounding environment – even when it is in an underground parking lot. As for the car’s automated functions, it can park itself right after the driver exits the vehicle. Saving time for the driver especially if he/she is in a rush for an appointment – not to mention the trouble of circling mall parking lots during a crowded weekend.
