Nissan will launch its next-generation ProPilot technology from fiscal year 2027. The Japanese OEM says the system, featuring Nissan Ground Truth Perception technology with next-generation lidar and Wayve AI Driver software, will set a new standard for autonomous driving with advanced collision avoidance capability.
Wayve AI Driver software, built on Wayve’s embodied AI foundation model, is designed to handle highly complex real-world driving conditions in a human-like manner. The technology’s ability to efficiently and rapidly learn from vast amounts of data will provide “continuous advantage to Nissan vehicles in the future”, the auto maker says.
Nissan recently completed the UK’s latest autonomous driving (AD) research project; and has also been busy demonstrating its latest autonomous driving (AD) technology in Yokohama’s Minato Mirai area.

Nissan currently offers ProPilot Assist: a hands-on driver assist system that combines Nissan’s Intelligent Cruise Control and Steering Assist technologies and includes a stop and hold function that can bring the vehicle to a full stop, hold in place and bring the vehicle back up to speed when traffic starts moving again.
ProPilot Assist with Navi-link syncs with the navigation system and provides additional information to better predict the freeway ahead. Features include Speed Adjust by Route, which can help reduce speed for tight curves and off-ramps; and Speed Limit Assist, which gives drivers the option to quickly adjust the set speed to the posted speed limit.
