Nissan, true to their penchant for concern towards safety while driving cars, has come with another development. This time a car which understands that driver is driving faster than what is good for him and releases the accelerator in case a possiblity of crash or collision.

 

Apparently this not only results in fewer accidents but also improves the mileage!! Driving just turned little more safer.

 

Nissan cars to push back when drivers floor it

 

 

Nissan Motor Co. will soon sell cars that push back when drivers try to put the pedal to the metal. It has also developed a test model packed with additional sensor technology to make vehicles crash-free.

 

 

The features unveiled this week by Nissan Motor Co. are the latest among recent efforts by the world's automakers to vamp up their images.

 

 

Nissan's collision-free prototype has sensors at its back and side that turn on alarms and brakes to help avoid collisions. The system also helps the vehicle maintain a safe distance with the car in front, as well as preventing it from veering off its lane, Nissan said Tuesday.

 

 

Nissan has said it hopes to halve the number of traffic accidents or serious injuries involving Nissan vehicles in Japan by 2015 compared to 1995 levels.

Really interesting to know about this kind of technologies. I am actually amused at the very thought that a driver is pushing the accelerator hard and car is braking itself because it finds a car too close in the lane.
