New auto pilot based driving system will take place in the coming years

We always relate our driving cars with the futuristic movies, which is an ideal choice of transportation for car owners. But Japan’s Ministry of Transportation seems to consider that the best way to make it happen in the future is by developing it now – which is not a bad concept at all. The Japan’s transport ministry has recently revealed a temporary study on a car-based autopilot driving system which is designed at reducing the traffic jams and accidents on the expressway. The ministry is looking forward to introduce this technology system by the year 2020.

 

“It is a pioneering effort by global standards and we want to promote it with a sense of speed,” Hiroshi Kajiyama, a senior vice minister of the Land, Infrastructure and Transport Ministry, said by an expert panel meeting. The ministry officials are evaluating the cooperation of top Japanese automakers in the evolution of the application, which is also seen as a booster to the competitiveness of the Japanese car makers in the global car manufacturing industry. According to the data, the Auction Services and the autopilot system takes over the car just before entering an expressway and guides the car to their planned exit. With this system, cars would need the technology in the system to control the distance from one vehicle to another to maintain their position in the lane. The devices are also developed into providing the drivers road information such as inclines, curves, traffic volume and real-time information on accidents. The transport ministry has set its time lines to be able to test the system on a single lane and on a multi-lane expressway as well where the cars will be able to automatically alter lanes when needed from the early 2020s.

 

With this in mind, the Japanese automaker Nissan has recently revealed  that they have planned to have a self-driving car accessible in the market by the year 2020 to coexist with the evolution of this method. Nissan believes that their “revolutionary” and self-drive technology will be functional at around the same time the ministry plans to give green light to the system.
