Recently Allison Transmission presented its first 9-speed fully automatic transmission for medium and heavy duty vehicles at the auto industry exhibition in the USA. It is said that this innovation will contribute to emissions reduction, enhance fuel economy and improve stop-start feature.
Nissan is one of the most active car producers in developing automotive driverless solution. The company plans to launch production of autopilot cars by 2020. Moreover, Nissan engineers recentrly came up with another idea to launch a driverless taxi.
Japanese multinational automobile manufacturer Nissan is working on a
technology intended to advance reaction time parameters and as a result improve
safety level as well as make driving more pleasing. This solution (currently
named as Brain-to-Vehicle, or B2V) processes impulses from the driver’s brain
that moves the “driver-car” interaction to the next level.
