I love driving in Japan especially when driving with my car that has the latest and greatest electronic technology in vehicles. My car has an image recognition technology, which detects lane markers in real time. This technology helps me to avoid car collision and the like. Since it recognizes obstacles, white lane lines, pedestrians and other items, I am guaranteed to have a safe trip always. My car has many hi- tech sensors that are integrated in the car system. I think it is time to own a car that has detection system like using infrared laser radar, using a stereo camera and image recognition, using a CMOS sensor and a circuit to calculate distance.

Surprisingly, Nissan Motor Co.’s Advance Technology Center is working on a project on how to design the next generation of crash-avoidance system. The flight of the bumblebee has inspired the engineers to design the Crash Avoidance Robotic car. Based on the joint research with the Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology at Japan, Nissan has built the Biomimetric Car Robot Drive or BR23C, a robotic micro-car that creates bee characteristics with the goal of producing a system that prevent collisions altogether. BR23C is a new technology of Nissan to prevent the risk of driving and lessen car accidents in the near future.
