NEXCO West & Nissan: New Technology Warns Drivers That They’re Driving the Wrong Way
Category: Car Gps - Tags: Car, car navigation, carnav, Fuga, Gps, Highway, Hybrid, NEXCO, Nissan, roadway
The West Nippon Expressway Company (which manages highways in west Japan) and Nissan Motor Company announced the fruits of their twenty-two-month collaborative project to “develop roadway information provider technologies using IT”: a GPS car navigation system that verbally and visually warns the driver when the car is driving against traffic, which is a problem in Japan – especially among older people – where highway entry and egress points can be much more confusing than, say, the US, because of complicated geography and limited space.
The new carnav technology will be offered onboard Nissan’s new third-gen Fuga hybrid, which will go on sale tomorrow.
