- Our first ride in a fully autonomous car on public roads in the UK. Nissan very kindly arranged this experience, I'd particularly like to that Tetsuya Iijima, who is 'not' driving the car, he had been showing this vehicle to numerous journalists before we arrived but still showed great enthusiasm.

I love that he was willing to talk openly about the limitations. Such a rare thing in large companies.
Japanese corporations in a nutshell!
They tend to have more technically educated people at the top, unlike the UK, where any knowledge or insight is an immediately disqualification.
In the UK, the charlatan wide boys bullshit their way up the career ladder and crap on the heads of hard-working technical people who do the actual work. Also, if the technical person works well, they will not be given a promotion, because that means management and managers produce absolutely nothing.
That's because he's an engineer. Engineers cannot lie!
It blows my mind how fast these autonomous cars are getting smarter! When people were saying "we might get self driving cars in a decade" back around 2014ish, I didn't think it could happen that quick. I thought it was just too complicated! I'm looking forward to being VERY wrong.
Also the way the car relinquishes control as soon as the driver starts to make inputs looks very elegant. Actually the whole system does really.
These technologies exist for decades already, im not longer.
No. This is way far advanced than your grandfather's cruise control / autopilot on a plane.
Autonomous cars will be extremely popular in countries with binge drinking cultures...
Yep. The leaps and bounds made by autonomous vehicles over the last decade were primarily the product of machine learning. Any self driving system before then was a completely different approach, and not at all comparable
Gregor Korompay I think you were mistaking Knight Rider for a documentary mate.
haha good one, although Gregy is right
Looks... safer than most human drivers already, to be honest. I look forward to the consumer version and its' competitors. They can't come soon enough. Great video!
It is safer, mainly because while a person driving will only pay attention to a couple of things, this is taking information from 20 or 25 different sensors and cameras and it can tell exactly where it is and what`s around it at any given moment, and act accordingly
and the car does not feel anger, fear, revenge.... it does not drink, eat, use the smartphone, focus/look at "uninteresting" things, does not mix up gas with brakes, does not speed etc. etc. etc.
most humans have only 100 IQ and a substantial number a lot lower than that ! Lets hope it offers them a condom !
Hyacinth Bucket: "Mind the pedestrian!"
Nissan Leaf: "Already minding the pedestrian. Even though he's sitting in his garden."
It's pronounce "Bukay"......
Just excellent.
entZEROspawn Bouquet actually
fucking funny !
This is awesome, roll on 2020. Nice work team!
Gastón Astore how is owning a car not right? It gives you extra convenience and freedom over having to wait for a taxi or rely on public transport that isnt all that reliable. Plus it costs less to run a car than use a taxi or public transport.
When you noted that it switched on the turn signals automatically, it got me wondering whether BWM's version will do the same.
Dan Sanger BMW's version will have a tailgating mode that's enabled by default.
Ha! :) I've got an i3 and am working hard to remove the stigma! :D If you see an i3 indicating like crazy it's probably me!
I can't speak for other BMW drivers but I do indicate on a need to know basis. Mostly other traffic doesn't need to know.
My god man, that would frighten the poor buggers to death, they wouldn't know what was happening... panic!!!
:D
Superb. Upping my Patreon subscription
Love this show. The electric autonomous future is closer every day
This is just amazing! And makes me confident that these system will make it and come to market! Thanks for this lovely video!
They are already kind of nearly on the market. The gen 2 autopilot systems on new models of Tesla's are capable of this, but they haven't enabled the feature for the owners yet, for whatever reasons.
So i'd say that in the next 1-2 years you will start to see a very small number of people owning properly autonomous cars.
It'll take a bit longer for it to become mainstream of course, but probably not too long.
Brent Smith Tesla's hardware has been demoed to do the same, but it was probably demonstratet with Nvidias software. Now they are developing their own software instead of buying from Nvidia.
Mobileye not nvidia.
Mobileye was gen 1, nvidia is behind gen 2
Tesla is not allowed to use mobileye software with their hardware 2.0, so no, u are wrong sir.
I had the exact same facial expression as Rob when he took his hands off the wheel. This is just epic. And by 2020? It's coming so much faster than anyone expected. I'm excited about the safety possibilities, as we all know someone who's been inconvenienced, injured, or worse, by a car accident. Very very very cool!
Yeah, I had a gleeful smile throughout the video. It makes me excited!
the correct form of address for Mr. Llewellyn is RahBah..
2020, the death of taxi drivers
Yes the writing is certainly on the wall for that, Taxi Driver is not a career that I would recommend long term to anyone, I see plastering and plumbing as better trades, far less susceptible to automation whilst being relatively well paid.
not susceptible because all taxi driver will be plastering and plumbering.
The death of all road transportation jobs, which is a frightening since our governments have nothing in place for the consequences, I cant wait for autonomous cars but we need universal basic income to compensate for the many job losses.
Plastering, plumbing, electrical work actually most of the classic trades will be the only thing left. Maybe some niche things like industrial cleaners, divers, climbers ect.
Everything else will be gone. I am working as a research chemist, we will be largely replaced as well. I am already mostly second guessing work of machines. As soon as the first multi purpose robots show up AI can do my job. Maybe not as efficiently time wise but then it has 24h a day, I loathe going beyond 8h and like to have the weekend off.
BR H the other day i was thinking about this and the only jobs i've came up with will be: business owners, athletes, artists, proximity retail (small stores),human relations(psicologist and sales), designers, engineers/inventors (only the creative ones), artisans and finally infantry soldiers (the most reliable tool around)
People from Japan, they don't talk a lot, they just get things done. Good job Nissan! Looking forward to getting one!
Thank you for this great and comprehensive demo. Very impressive. Compliments to Nissan.
Excellent video as usual Robert. it was soo good bumping into you yesterday in Berlin. waiting to see the Euref Campus video. Nawie
Brilliant as always! Thank you so much. I share your videos as often as I can!
Great episode! keep up the amazing work.
Outstanding Robert. Simply outstanding!
Agree, possibly one of his best shows to date. Great info and just the right length. We must give the thumbs-up to the editing and film crew here!!
Seriously impressive! I had no idea Nissan were anywhere close to this kind of tech, let alone working on UK roads in a fairly refined package. I'm a Leaf fan already, roll on 2020 if this is gonna be standard tech!!!
greenmoose7708 Yeah, roll on 2020 and a I could see a Leaf in the garage. Not a Model 3 or a Bolt but a Leaf... Never imagined I'd say that.
Most big car companies are probably able to do stuff like that. Also Bosch provides these types of systems for automotive applications but also industry safety.
They are just not as noisy as the Americans that call a advanced cruise control an autopilot.
Yeah I've owned and driven high end german cars with certain levels of autopilot, but no company that I know of, specifically on UK roads (where I live, hence my interest) has come even close to what was shown in that video in a consumer, or even concept product. I don't believe that automotive makers are deliberately holding out on us because reasons. Wouldn't make sense. The sensors are not the issue, Tesla uses quite a lot of off the shelf Bosch parts in its autopilot, but its the software that runs the cars the needs developing more before it hits UK consumer products, in this facet, from what I saw in this video, Nissan is at the head of the pack.
Japan drive on the left side too so it wouldn't have too much trouble. hmm i wonder what would happen if you pop over to France?
Nissan has been at the forefront for awhile, second only to Tesla. They were one of the first to combine lane assist and autonomous cruise (see youtube vid of '14 Q50 Hybrid driving on Autobahn as driver gets up and moves to the back seat).
The Nissans sold in Japan this year all include lane-keeping tech. They're targeting lane change in 2-3 years and intersections in about 5... that's production. As we can see, they've pretty much already achieved the test bed. But as he said, they need to find the best locations for the sensors "in" the car and condense to a more centralized computing system.
For their endgame look at the IDS Concept. That's probably a future iteration of the Leaf.
Love this channel. Robert is a great presenter for this kind of technology and has convinced me beyond all doubt that the manufacturers of autonomous vehicles will deliver on time. Thanks for another great show. Exciting times ahead.
This is a fantastic episode Robert! Excellent stuff!
What a great car and a great video! This is how Top Gear should be made !!!
in Japan its called twop gweah
My mind is blown "override, standby mode".
I am so glad that you got to ride in this. I met Iijiman-chan last year in Silicon Valley, and it looks like the car has improved quite a lot since I rode in it! Lovely!
Wow!
And thanks for another great video. You're excellent!
very cool... I want that center stack in my leaf now!!!
This is probably the best autonomous system out there. Well done Nissan!
Amazing. Such a great test for it too, with genuine hazards occurring live. And like you, Robert, I was impressed by its confidence.
beautiful. thanks for the video and keep up with the good work
Goosebumps.
Amazing I want one. Roads will be saver no more testosterone drivers and electric so clean air in cities good job Nissan
Javier Soto Pacetti Yeah buy the car will still stop if it sees a pedestrian or red light.
YOU WILL NOT TAKE MY TESTOSTERONE
have you looked at ev motor bikes ?? hearing how people react driving them is amazing..
Real danger to male testosterone hahha not for my i have no need to be loud.
lol
Javier -- even now Nissan/Infiniti with front emergency braking will brake and cut the accelerator. Control is taken away from you.
As always Robert, your Fully Charged episodes are EPIC! Thanks for all you do for the forward advancement of renewable energy, transportation, etc.!
This is amazing! So many accidents happen because humans can't judge safe distances from the car in front (as we saw in the video). Apart from the obvious usefulness of autonomous point to point driving cars I firmly believe lives will be saved thanks to these systems! Thanks for delivering positive messages with such clarity! Fantastico!
Do autonomous cars give way (yield) to emergency vehicles?
On the same theme, will the car "allow" you to go through a red light to allow an emergency vehicle to overtake you?
with level 5 autopilot and linked system of cars ....emergency vehicles wouldn't need sirens and the cars will give way far more efficiently and early
but that will happen when everything is perfected
Not sure, there's a firetruck at 7:15 but they edited most of it out of the video.
For sure not every demonstrator or prototype has these features, but any production car will yield to emergency vehicles. Add car2car communication to autonomous vehicles and in the future we have much better opportunities. From intersections which are blocked by random available autonomous cars to traffic lanes which are automatically emptied before an emergency vehicle approaches.
I thought that when the fire engine came past. I bet it doesn't know to pull to the side of the road if one is behind it at lights say... I'd like to be proven wrong though, that would be clever!
I love Tesla, but the Nissan Leaf has always had my heart for some reason. The price point, and first to release is mostly the biggest factors. On another note, I wonder if the vehicle made any noise while it was behind the bus? Or was it going to just stay there until it moved. I was also hoping that the came across some construction work, just to see what would happen. Great video!
Yep. I'm really keen for a model 3 if i can afford one in a few years time, but failing that, the leaf looks awesome too.
Richard Andrews The bioweapon defense mode to protect from diesel buses puts me in the Model 3 camp
Hey the fact that Leafs never burn, and tesla's almost always do.. should be enough !
Great Vid...Sat back with a cup of coffee and enjoyed it very much.
Even though I've seen other autonomous driving videos, I just had to comment here and say that this looks fabulous. Absolutely amazing! I cant wait for this to become common place.
My biggest worry: if humans won't drive anymore (no attention to driving) then how can we take over if computer decides to stop? We will lose that expertise (takes 50000-100000 miles to get and improves even after that). Future drivers will be worse than computers.
I guess the problem would be largest during the transition point, when you still need to be able to take over. Once most people can no longer drive, we would already be largely at the point where we won't need to be able to take over at all.
Daniel Burke
So humans could lose a right to drive? Unless specific certificate is attained.
That's exactly how it works now. You need a specific certification (a drivers license). it's a right, not a privilege.
Think of it this way - we'll gain the right to travel home in our car while drunk.
It seems people were not good at driving ever in first place. To much going on, at times to much to be handled by a human, that is the moment when accidents happen.
Charles Gregory
Yes but currently people can experience driving. It takes actually quite a long time to be a good driver. If we give away 90-95% driving, we might never be able to drive that well anymore.
LOL, autonomous car and you need to start the wipers manually - in my car it is the otherway round. ;)
Probably just turned on the automatic wipers. Many cars default to autowipers off by default after each startup mostly so that they don't sudennly turn on in a car wash.
Fully Charged! my heart is full! ,thanks man for all that good stuff..
What an amazing technology! Congratulations for the video! Portugal sees you.
Very impressive. Tesla is already way ahead of Nissan (and other car makers) on hardware integration, and will be ahead on software and machine learning since its so widely deployed already on the Autopilot Hardware Version 2 Model S and X. For example the Leaf had 1000 miles of autonomous experience. Tesla is getting 1+ million miles of autonomous experience *per day* on Hardware version 2. That will accelerate exponentially when Model 3 gets deployed.
The Tesla autopilot can only drive you down a road. It doesn't navigate turns, or deal with traffic signals. That's a great deal more work.
+jfbeam: Tesla is moving towards fully autonomous driving. They are already selling it for cars equipped with Version 2 of the autopilot hardware, and they're deploying it incrementally via software updates.
Loanword Eggcorn why do you talk like competition is a bad thing? Show some respect to what nissan has achieved and dont forget that it will end up costing less than a model 3 too, different working class targeted
Impressive technology and well produced video.
That was superb. The technology involved is unbelievably good. Impressive demo.
Brilliantly covered 👍🏻 love that. Well done.
this is realy one of my favorite videos. this is why we can be certain that the future is going to be so cool. well done Nissan
if I didn't think you are a thoroughly decent and honest chap I would swear that you made this up... wonderful stuff!
Awesome stuff! I love all this autonomous driving things :D
Incredible progress. Nice work.
Another amazing episode!
thanks Robert. excellent episode
Absolutely amazing. Great story and really well made video too. I'm still thinking that the roll-out of autonomous vehicles will open up a whole can of legal worms, but this demo itself is very impressive.
That was amazing ! Good show.
Wow! Just wow! I didn't expect to see that much automation and decision intelligence so soon. Well done Nissan. Thanks for showing us Robert :)
totally amazed , certainly beyond what I'd imagined possible at present.
to think the system would only get better and integrated into the car even better... I mean I would already consider buying it as is! kudos to Nissan and Kudos to the Fully Charged team for such wonderful content!
Stunning, thank you!
The most amazing demonstration of autonomous driving I have seen so far. I am almost speechless at how good this system is. Hats off to Nissan. Japan once again proves it is the forefront of technology once again!
WOW! great episode.. thank you...
Very nice. this shows how realistic the visions of autonomous driving is.
Very interesting. Thanks Krytie!
this is just Wow ...... Amazing
Can't wait for the final version
absolutely brilliant video... and use of technology
This looks phenomenal. We're edging ever closer to that future which has been promised for 60+ years. It's truly exciting to see how things are progressing.
I own & love my 2012 LEAF. When the next gen car comes out with a 200 mile range and this autonomous mode... I'll take one. I really like how smooth it operates & how you can just take over for a bit (around the bus) and then, it just resumes on it's own. No beeping, buzzers, flashing lights, etc. Super cool.
That was pretty amazing. Almost flawless
just amazing technology, great video
Wonderful bring it on Nissan brill thanks Robert great as always
How do you not have more subs?! Keep up the good work. Great new tech from Nissan.
love this show so much!
Nice demonstration. Very smooth.
Very impressive. I'm so glad to see that many companies developping these technologies. This will change tranportation, increase general safety, reduce the numbers of cars per household. This is a very inspiring future.
Wow Great video Team this is the future
Amazing. Great insight!
Amazing technology and brilliant video Robert, thank you! I'm amazed at how far ahead this demonstration is compared to Tesla auto pilot. And the standby driving demonstration was simply fantastic too. If that's included in the final product and to all autonomous vehicles then driving will be made incredibly safe compared to all manual driving.
Bravo Nissan. Thank you Robert.
// High video production value.
BRILLIANT! I love how the Nissan Executive is VERY confident!
That's what happens when you believe in your product and the people who designed it.
That man has brain and brawn, being so confident and knowledgable in the cars abilities!
This is amazing. So clever. I want one.
Robert I enjoy your show very much.I'm not so sure that I like any other presenters.You are really the "character" that makes it great!Thank you very much for the show!
Unbelievably good. I definitely want one of those.
What a fascinating demonstration.
Cheers Bob, that was great.
You can see how passionately proud Tetsuya Iijima is in a couple of situations. Good stuff there, Nissan.
Wow cool! That is really impressive!
Wow. What a impressive bit of gear. The car just looks confident all the time.
This is incredibly exciting. Such a time to be a ecar motorist!!
This is the most exciting video I've seen on UA-cam in the past few years. If it was released just a cuple days later, I would have not believed it.
Not so long ago Scientific American ran an extensive article which argued car autonomy like that was still very far away. Seeing this makes me reconsider (maybe not so over) optimistic singularity forecasts of Kurzweil and co.
Seeing this in action you just know this is the future. Amazing.
Hi Robert , The Chap from Nissan looks so relaxed --arms folded ---sure he is use to the system and the speed is relatively low-- but the adjustment feature / or take control feature that automatically puts the car in standby is wonderful-- then returns to autonomotous mode is great--and driver seems so calm and in control.. or not in this case--GREAT VIDEO.
amazing, great to see
this is so amazing!
Amazing....the bar is raised once again.
Future's here man .the way autonomous tech moves a vehicle really fascinates me . I love to own one
Glad you asked the bicycle question. They often seem overlook things that aren't other motor vehicles.
Amazing video! Would love to see more companies doing autonomous... but mostly companies that will do autonomous that invite you to "Drive" along with them
Wow! Can you imagine how many life's these cars can save! Just amazing😀😃
wow very nice. looking forward to seeing that Nissan Leaf on the market
This is freaking amazing!
I'm in love with this technology!
wow it's just amazing!
