Many new cars provide customers with a wide range of advanced driver assistance systems, or ADA. This driving assistance function has recently become a selling point for many potential car buyers. This technology can monitor driver behavior, consider road conditions and vehicle behavior and often warns the driver visually and acoustically in the name of collision avoidance. Some systems even actively brake and take corrective measures to avoid accidental collisions. 

Nissan offers the Nissan Safety Shield 360 kit as standard equipment for the following 2021 models: Sentra, Leaf, Maxima, Kicks, Rogue, Rogue Sport and Titan.

Let’s take a look. Safety Shield 360 consists of six parts: automatic high beams, automatic rear braking, front collision warning with pedestrian detection and automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, rear cross-traffic warning and blind-spot warning.

Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection – uses forward-facing radar and camera technology to track vehicles and crossing pedestrians, can give audible and visual warnings and apply braking to help avoid or reduce the severity of frontal collisions.

Lane Departure Warning – can alert the driver of drifting from the lane with a visual warning and audible or haptic signals.

High Beam Assist – automatically switches to low beam headlights when it detects a vehicle ahead and turns the high beams back on when appropriate.

Blind Spot Warning – helps spot vehicles in driver’s blind spot areas.

Rear Cross-Traffic Alert – can warn the driver about detected approaching vehicles when reversing out of a parking spot.

Rear Automatic Braking- helps detect stationary objects when backing up and, if necessary, applies the brakes to help avoid a collision.

While Some drivers are wary of intelligent technologies such as Nissan’s Safety Shield 360, it’s worth noting the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) pointed out the many benefits of ADAS, such as how rear-wheel braking can reduce accidents during reversing by 78% and the combination of reverse cameras and sensors can reduce accidents by 42%.
