Very nice. Wonder when they'll bring the lane assist or lane keeping systems over. I would like laser or radar cruise control though. It's really annoying that people don't use cruise control on the highway and every time people cut in, they don't go the same speed as the lane and I have to keep slowing down then speeding up. People also have the tendency to vary their speed by as much as 10km/h. Probably talking on the phone

Nissan's working on a safety system that scans the bone density of the driver so that it can deploy the airbag at the right force if it's needed.

The problem really is people who put on their cruise control and expect people to slow poke it on the lane just like they do.

As for this new system.. it could become annoying to get a warning everytime you're looking at the girls on the sidewalk and a squirrel gets on the road.

Ah the land of lawsuits. Toyota had a auto parking system that is sold almost everywhere else, except the US. I wouldn't be suprised if it came late, if it came at all.
