Self-Driving Nissan Leaf EV Launching Soon, Will Use ProPilot Technology

Nissan has been teasing its next-generation Leaf EV for long, but the company finally revealed the car's release date on Twitter Friday. The company also appealed to lawmakers to support self-driving technology in a press release published Thursday. "While we aren't there yet, the accelerated pace at which automakers and tech companies are introducing vehicle prototypes and automated drive features has left some stakeholders behind. On the other hand there's concern," the company said. The tweet includes a picture of the Nissan logo, with what looks like the car's grille.
