Arrived at the Nissan booth in the 4th floor of the West Hall.


What is in front of a crowd ... ...


Dashboard part of the IDS concept.


A terminal like a tablet in the driver's seat. Terminal instead of steering can be operated by voice recognition. In the automatic operation mode (pilot operation mode: PD mode), it operates through this large monitor.


In the PD mode, there are large monitors on the dashboard, and various information is displayed, so you can spend a relaxing drive by automatic driving. Driving interior of this IDS concept seems to assume cockpit of 2020 's.


However, even if it is an automatic driving car, there are times when I want to drive by myself. In such a case, if you switch to manual drive mode (MD mode), you can transform the interior.

Switching from PD mode to MD mode is like this.

The tablet terminal collapsed into a meter panel, steering wheel appeared inside.


Pedal also appeared accordingly.


In MD mode, there is no information display with a general dashboard. However, even in the MD mode, the IDS concept is monitored with the installed sensors, and it is assisted to avoid the dangerous situation in the unlikely event.


Of course, it can be changed immediately to PD mode.

With regard to the efforts of the automated driving car, there are things that aim at the fully automated type which does not necessarily assume human operation in the first place like Google, many Nissan and other automobile manufacturers use steering, accelerator and brake on their own While maintaining the "driving pleasure" obtained by piloting, we are taking the stance of realizing automatic driving. In order to achieve both automatic operation and fan drive compatibility, switching system between automatic operation mode and manual operation mode is indispensable, and various design suggestions are likely to continue in the future.
