Electric vehicles help us in many ways, from saving on the cost of gas to protecting our environment, but there is nothing to say they cannot be safe and fun to drive. The 2018 Nissan LEAF will arrive at the start of the year and is being praised for its look and its technology.
The 2018 Nissan LEAF is the first step in the company's relaunch of its EV platform with a bigger motor and battery capacity coming in 2019. With its 150mile-per-charge driving range, the 2018 LEAF can already make it to Atlanta from Savannah on just two full charges.
On the road, ProPILOT Assist technology can help keep you safe. ProPILOT Assist utilizes a technology like a front-facing camera and radar to help maintain a safe distance between you and the vehicle you are following. In a traffic jam, it can completely stop the car at low speeds.
"ProPILOT Assist has the ability to track curving lanes, helping the driver stay centered in the lane as well as adjusting for various traffic flow conditions," said Takeshi Yamaguchi, senior vice president, Research and Development, Nissan Technical Center North America, Nissan North America, Inc. "However, just as non-autonomous vehicles today, ProPILOT Assist requires the driver to remain engaged in the task of driving at all times – though the technology can reduce driver fatigue and increase driving enjoyment."
