Like Tesla's Navigate on Autopilot, Nissan's system will only function on limited-access highways providing"on-ramp to off-ramp" automated driving. Nissan's new system combines features similar to those of both Tesla's Navigate on Autopilot and General Motors ' Cadillac Super Cruise. The new ProPilot 2.0 system will allow the car to handle, largely on its own, lane changes and highway interchanges while following a route set in the car's navigation system.
Consumer Reports has yet to test Nissan's system, which will not be available until the fall and, even then, will be offered only in Japan. It will initially be available on the Nissan Skyline sedan.Read MoreA tiny camera watches the driver to ensure he or she is paying attention to the road.While this new version of ProPilot is hands-free, it is not eyes-free. A camera inside the car will monitor the driver's face and eyes to make sure he or she is always looking at the road ahead.
