Nissan Motor Co. today said it intends to have multiple self-driving vehicles ready for retail sale in 2020.
The assertion shows the Japanese automaker pushing ahead on a promising new technology. But the sale of self-driving vehicles could be derailed by federal traffic safety regulators.
Nissan has been working on self-driving vehicles for years at its Japanese r&d centers, and now plans to step up its investment in the technology, including a new proving ground dedicated to autonomous vehicles.
