manufacturer in Silicon Valley and the US space agency in Moffet Field will indeed work for five years. Researchers from both teams will focus on automatic control systems, human-machine interfaces, network applications, analysis and verification software. All in order to rapidly achieve proof of concept of a fleet of autonomous vehicles and zero-emission, that is to say, electric. They would be used to transport materials, goods, payloads or people. This does not prevent NASA parallel testing its space rovers to Mars to their factory late 2015.
"The work of NASA and Nissan - one directed to the space, the other towards the earth, come to similar challenges," said Carlos Ghosn. "The partnership will accelerate the development of safety, security and reliability of autonomous driving technology we will gradually introduce to consumers in 2016 to 2020 " , has he added.
