UK-Japan News February 2017

Nissan has received clearance from the UK government to commence trials of its self-driving cars on public roads in London, Wired reported on 16 January.

The modified Nissan Leaf electric car has been updated with Nissan Intelligent Mobility, comprising a special suite of radar, laser and camera systems. Clearance from a final local authority is needed before tests can commence.

It is hoped the car will be available commercially by 2020.
