Nissan vows to be ready to sell autonomous cars by 2020, according to The Detroit News.
Nissan Motor Co. said Tuesday it will have a commercially viable autonomous vehicle ready to sell by 2020, a faster timetable than many analysts and government officials have forecast.
The Japanese automaker is the first major company to pledge to have largely self-driving vehicles ready for consumer use in less than seven years. The automaker said it will have commercially viable vehicles ready to sell and said the company’s engineers have been carrying out intensive research on the technology for years, alongside teams from universities including MIT, Stanford, Oxford, Carnegie Mellon and the University of Tokyo.
