Nissan introduces driverless towing system at Oppama plant in Japan
Data obtained through this project may eventually help in enabling broader adoption of autonomous driving technology
Nissan is testing self-driving cars at one of its plants in Japan by using them to tow vehicles on a trailer to the wharf for loading, according to a company release. The automaker introduced today (5 December) the Intelligent Vehicle Towing (IVT), a fully automated vehicle towing system, at its Oppama plant. The IVT system uses a modified Nissan Leaf to autonomously tow trolleys carrying finished vehicles between designated loading and unloading points at the plant.
