Nissan autonomous driving technology trials

Overview

Nissan is conducting large-scale autonomous driving trials in different international regions to test mobility services and technical capabilities.

In Yokohama, Japan, Nissan is collaborating with Moplus Co., Ltd. and KDDI Corporation on a demonstration experiment scheduled for late 2026. This project utilizes Nissan Serena-based vehicles to test SAE Level 2 autonomous driving with safety drivers, aiming to gather data for future Level 4 implementation. The trial focuses on remote monitoring, communication congestion, and building a service ecosystem across urban areas including Minato Mirai and Sakuragicho.

Simultaneously, Nissan has launched the ‘ADventure’ project in Cambridge, United Kingdom. This £3 million research initiative, supported by the UK Government and developed with Warwick Manufacturing Group and PAVE UK, uses a modified Nissan Leaf to test technology in real-world community settings. The UK trial emphasizes social value, user experience, and the integration of autonomous mobility into existing transport networks to assist those unable to drive.
