Renault-Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn told a tech gathering Thursday the automaker is committed to self-driving cars, as he unveiled a series of initiatives to advance the technology. Speaking at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Ghosn said the Franco-Japanese group would adopt an autonomous system which keeps a human in the loop if something goes wrong with the technology.
He said the company would begin deploying its Seamless Autonomous Mobility (SAM) system which uses artificial intelligence and is derived from NASA technology. Under this system "the autonomous vehicle becomes smart enough to know when it should not attempt to negotiate the problem by itself," and brings itself to a halt to request human assistance, a company statement said. Ghosn said the new system is part of an effort to accelerate deployment of self-driving cars.
