Tech Thursday: Nissan’s Now Anti-Slip

It’s usually the high-end marques like BMW and Mercedes-Benz that pioneer vehicle safety, but recently Nissan’s jumped into the game, with new safety innovations and nifty gadgets. Examples include the new “pop-up” engine hood on this year’s Skyline, and the just-announced “slip-hazard warning system” which hasn’t yet been released, but will supposedly detect slippery road conditions and alert the driver using an interactive voice system.
The technology involves a relay of information from the ABS through the proprietary “Intelligent Transport System,” a new feature that links your car with third-party data gathered from the local police, other drivers, and records that detail “the slippery points” along your route.
Testing is currently underway in Japan.
