Nissan Intelligent Mobility and Seamless Autonomous Mobility
Most of us here at Glendale Nissan have been driving for more than a decade, if not quite a few.

The Nissan Leaf has been on the market for quite a while, and it seems the goal is to provide a lot more home integration, autonomous features and charging infrastructure built right into our roadways. At least, that’s the future that Nissan imagines. (more…)

Nissan and Microsoft Cortana at CES 2017
Not to shake our fists and sound like we’re about to tell you about walking a mile to school in a foot of snow, but most of us here remember a time when cars didn’t have ABS, let alone driver assistance features. To be clear, we’re not saying this is a good thing. No, we love more technology in our vehicles, especially when it’s easier than ever to be distracted by ringing phones and our busy lifestyles. It seems better to have a system that provides the contact you need, and limits what you don’t. Keep off Candy Crush when you’re behind the wheel, right? Well, the 2017 CES is upon us, which means big news from Nissan, coming in the form of a partnership with Microsoft Cortana. What does this mean for future vehicles? (more…)

Overview of Nissan Altima Crash Prevention Safety Technology
Although some of our parents and teachers might have claimed to have eyes in the back of their heads, we haven’t seen any proof yet. When driving though, wouldn’t it be nice to have a set of eyes watching from behind you? Or even a co-pilot that could keep lookout of your blind spots and even predict an accident before it could take place?
And even though human reaction time can be quick….sometimes it’s just not quick enough. Fortunately, Nissan has added another layer to its Intelligent Safety Shield to not only protect the driver and passengers in a crash but hopefully entirely avoid it all together.
You may have heard some things about advanced safety technology or crash prevention systems, but we’d like to go a little deeper into what they are and how they work in this overview of the Nissan Altima crash prevention safety technology. (more…)
