Nissan Grand Live is a test course close to the Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. Oppama Plant in Natsushima-cho, Yokosuka City, and has been developed so that you can experience roads that can pass daily, such as steps, slopes, and highways. Was.
　In addition to the test drive at Nissan Grand Live, we also tested the Skyline equipped with the ProPilot 2.0 autonomous driving system, which is familiar with TV commercials, on the highway.
　Experience driving on the highway with your hands off the steering wheel and your feet off the pedal for the first time! I was really nervous even though I trusted him. Of course, I was able to drive safely and comfortably. All the cars that we tested at Nissan Grand Live, including ProPILOT 2.0, were a wonderful technology that we have created with respect to environmental conservation and safety.

As a blue switch activity, we are working to improve the technology of EVs and professional pilots, but this initiative was an opportunity to deeply recognize that Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.’s challenge to solve social issues such as global warming and disaster countermeasures.
　Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., which started in Takaramachi, Kanagawa-ku and is now a world-renowned automaker. I felt again that it was because I was able to respond to the changing environment one after another and work positively to move forward.
