While the Japanese automobile industry appears to be somewhat behind the American industry in developing autonomous vehicles, particularly regarding SAE Level 4 technology, Nissan just unveiled its progress in this field.
The automaker recently introduced its prototype autonomous taxi, operating without a driver in Japanese traffic for the first time. This prototype is based on a Serena minivan (a model not sold in North America) and is equipped with nine radars, fourteen cameras, and six Lidar sensors, primarily mounted on the highest part of the vehicle to provide better environmental perception.
Nissan plans to launch its first commercial autonomous taxi service for paying passengers as early as 2027. However, many tests still need to be conducted before the next steps of the project can be announced.
