Nissan ProPilot Assist: Giving Drivers a Hand

 

Let’s be honest: a lot of our driving life is… boring. Long hauls on empty roads, daily commutes with predictable traffic jams. Barring the flying cars we’ve been promised for decades, is there something to make those moments a little less draining? Nissan ProPilot Assist is technology that can help in a big way, and you can get an up-close demonstration at Peruzzi Nissan.

Nissan ProPilot Assist helps handle many of the everyday elements that lead to fatigue: braking, acceleration, steering, staying in your lane. Essentially, it’s like cruise control (which it also does), but on steroids. It uses a forward-facing camera, radar sensors, and an electronic control module to lend you a hand on the road.

When you hit the ProPilot Assist button on the steering wheel, you easily engage the most developed driver-assist system on the market.  Nissan’s ProPilot Assist has been specifically designed to be more user-friendly. For example, when you engage lane assist on those long hauls, the system chimes and the information center on the driver console goes green. From there on, you’ll be able to more easily stay within a single, marked lane.

The steering-assist feature uses sensors to reduce the need for those tiny adjustments we make while driving. However, this doesn’t mean you can take your hands off the wheel: if you do, you’ll get a warning beep. If you don’t respond, the system taps the brake. If you still don’t get your hands back on the wheel, Nissan’s ProPilot Assist slowly brings the car to a stop and sets the emergency flashers.

ProPilot Assist can also help handle braking and acceleration duties, by sensing other cars and responding accordingly – ahead of your own reflexes. Again, it’s an assist, not the whole game. Nissan’s exceptional technology is meant to help you out on the road, but it’s by no means a self-driving car. Still, Nissan’s ProPilot Assist can dramatically improve the ordinary driving experience and make it a lot less exhausting. Call or stop in to Peruzzi Nissan to see how it works – and how it can make your day better.
