Advanced driver assistance systems are increasingly popular in modern vehicles. Among some of the most impressive available technologies is Nissan ProPILOT Assist, a semi-autonomous driving assistant that helps with freeway navigation and efficiency.

Experience Smarter Highway Driving with ProPILOT Assist

ProPILOT Assist is a driving assistant built around cruise control and lane centering technology. This hands-on driving assistant streamlines highway cruising by automatically controlling your steering, acceleration, and braking so you get the benefit of less fatigue behind the wheel, particularly on long commutes and roadtrips. 

ProPILOT Assist uses an adaptive cruise control system that allows your vehicle to keep pace with the car ahead while also maintaining a safe following distance so your Nissan has enough time to come to a complete stop. When this system is active, it can bring your vehicle to a stop, hold position, and then resume traffic speed, which is ideal in congested traffic. 

ProPILOT Assist with Navi-Link

On some Nissan models, the ProPILOT driving assistant is paired with an integrated navigation system for predictive speed adjustment. Navigation data is used to predict when to slow down the vehicle so that your Nissan can glide along curves in the road more safely. This system can also be used to reduce your travel speed when entering off-ramps. Drivers have the option of adjusting the cruising speed on a dime to match posted speed limit signs. 

ProPILOT Assist 2.0

If your Nissan is equipped with ProPILOT Assist 2.0, you get the benefit of route assistance with freeway mapping on compatible roads. This advanced ProPILOT Assist system uses 360-degree road monitoring with radar and sonar information, as well as 3D road mapping, to assess upcoming curves on the road to your next destination for even greater precision. 

The 2.0 system has built-in lane change assistance technology that allows you to overtake other vehicles on the road at the push of a button. All you have to do is keep your hands on the wheel, activate the lane change system, and allow the advanced traffic and mapping data to plan how to get around slower-moving vehicles so you can resume your preferred travel speed on the highway. 

ProPILOT Assist 2.1

The latest advancement in the ProPILOT Assist family of technologies is the 2.1 system, which enables hand and foot-free semi-autonomous driving. With this system, you can comfortably take your hands off the wheel and your feet off the foot pedals while your car essentially drives itself on compatible roads. Like the 2.0 system, when your hands are on the wheel, you can overtake other cars at the push of a button. 

ProPILOT Assist technology, found on models like the ARIYA and the upper Rogue trims, streamlines your daily commute with intelligent software that controls cruise control and steering. Test out this advanced system when you visit DARCARS Nissan of Rockville in Rockville, MD.
