Carmakers like Volvo and Mercedes-Benz are usually the pioneers of vehicle safety in this industry, but lately more and more companies are developing their own safety innovations and gadgets. Nissan’s new safety technologies include a pop-up engine hood for the Skyline and now it has announced the development of a “slip-hazard warning system,” which it’s prepping for commercial use. The new system can detect slippery road conditions and alert the driver depending on how severe it is using “real-time voice alerts”.
The set-up works by relaying information from the antilock brakes through Nissan’s Intelligent Transport System, a new feature that links the vehicle with third-party traffic data gathered from other motorists and local police as well as “historical records of the slippery points”.
