Autonomous Drive Tackling New Highways

SAGAMIHARA, Japan – Kanagawa Governor Yuji Kuroiwa took his second ride in Nissan's Autonomous Drive (AD) vehicle over the weekend, opening a new highway link between his prefecture and neighboring Tokyo.

Kanagawa, home to Nissan's Global Headquarters, technical and logistic centers, and multiple production plants, will host an Autonomous Drive proving ground near Nissan's Oppama factory.

Governor Kuroiwa joined Nissan's Vice Chairman Toshiyuki Shiga in the AD car, traveling the 13.4-kilometer parade stretch in under 20 minutes.
