A foundational pillar of the initiative is Nissan’s fully electric ARIYA crossover that is aimed directly at the heart of the popular segment. Nissan invited CleanTechnica out to drive the ARIYAs and we eagerly headed out to Nashville, Tennessee to put some miles on the exciting new market entrant. Electric vehicles have become synonymous with technology and a core piece of modern vehicles is their advanced driver assistance system .
The Nissan ARIYA’s ProPILOT 2 system dynamically changes the color of the theme and indicator icons. Image credit: Kyle Field, CleanTechnica Finally, ProPILOT level 3 is a full blown hands-free adaptive cruise control system that steers the vehicle and allows the driver to take their hands off the steering wheel. This mode is only available on HD mapped, separated highways, of which there are approximately 220,000 mi of in the United States. Nissan uses the TomTom HD maps and more are regularly being added to the system.
Farther along our route but still on a separated, mapped highway, ProPILOT 2 randomly disengaged in the middle of a route. It went from blue hands off mode to a big red notification, telling me to take over immediately. While I was paying attention to the road and my surroundings, the immediate disengagement from hands free mode left me with very little time to get my hands up and onto the wheel. Not ideal, but also something we should expect for systems evolving as rapidly as ProPILOT is.
