Nissan To Start Automated Car Testing In Europe
Nissan will begin testing cars with self-driving abilities in London beginning next month, Reuters reports. The manufacturer will use a version of its LEAF electric car with autonomous technology on public roads in London. As PC Mag notes, the company had previously tested a self-driving prototype of the LEAF on public roads in Japan back in 2015, but the announcement marks Nissan's first tests in the European market. Alongside the testing expansion, Nissan also plans to expand its factory in England. The automotive market continues to be a popular area of investment for a variety of tech companies.
