Little more than the front wing can be seen in the video preview
Nissan has previewed an autonomous concept that it will reveal at the Detroit motor show this week, demonstrating its predictions for the future of mobility.
The Japanese manufacturer has released preview videos that explain the concept will have an urban focus and mix futuristic technology with traditional design.
The footage shows flashes of the car's exterior, including a glimpse of its front wing and headlight. The latest silhouette image shows the car's SUV shape, with an extended section on the roof to house its autonomous hardware.
Nissan has ramped up investment in driverless technology since it revealed its Intelligent Mobility plans in 2016. It recently revealed that it has sold 75,000 cars with its Propilot technology.
The firm has just launched its most autonomous capable model, the new Leaf, which uses a more advanced Propilot suite of systems that can steer, accelerate and brake on highways and in single-lane low-speed traffic. In addition, the car features an autonomous parking system.
Since early last year, Nissan has been showing its pre-production autonomous technology progress to external stakeholders in a bid to encourage regulators to make it easier for driverless cars to be used on roads. The brand has also launched a car sharing scheme with its Micra in order to cater to this growing segment.

Slightly annoyed in that I believe the new Leaf is going to make this a standard fit rather than an option.
Now please bear with, if this was a £1,500 option I wonder how many people would tick the box. Or, if you had a choice between this and a higher capacity battery with an additional 50 mile range, I wonder what people would choose? Afterall how many people spend £600 on the self parking option?
The Model 3 is the same only more so. Give people the choice Musk then see what the consumer wants.
Hydrogen cars just went POP
