Nissan is preparing to hit the streets of Japan in its ‘Piloted Drive 1.0’ autonomous car project for the first time.

Unveiled last month, the self-driven Nissan Leaf concept is part of Nissan’s push for a “zero emission, zero fatality” future.

As with all autonomous car projects, Piloted Drive aims to eliminate human error from the process of driving and Part 1.0 is the next step in achieving that goal.

Drivers in Japan will soon be able witness the Leaf test car driving itself during periods of maximum congestion. And it won’t be long before this technology is available to buyers, with Nissan aiming to take it to the marketplace by the end of next year.

By 2018, Nissan plans on a Piloted Drive system capable of autonomous lane-changes on multi-lane highways, and the system should be able to negotiate complex intersections by 2020.
