Nissan’s GPS-enabled cruise control foreshadows robot cars

Filed under: ,

Nissan has really upped the ante when it comes to driver-assisting luxury amenities. While everybody else is busy with souped-up cruise control based on radars (those old things), Nissan has tapped into onboard GPS to allow the car slow down for upcoming turns, and soon after resume a cruising speed once the turn is done. It’s called Intelligent Cruise Control, and will most likely be seen

as a happy upgrade to some drivers and a curse upon the road to others. We just want a fully-automated car, so do what it takes, Nissan.
