Advanced safety should be available to all. That's something Nissan truly believes in. And when it comes to our favorite automaker, you can be sure that the "talk" matches the "walk"...or should we say, drive. This means that Nissan has put its beliefs into action and created a much cheaper yet high-performing accident-avoidance technology.

Often times, such safety features are only available in high-end luxury models and even then come at an extra price. That's because pre-existing systems operate off of expensive radar sensors. In order to help bring potentially life-saving technologies to the masses, Nissan engineers have devised a system using wide-angle cameras already present in their Around View Monitors. Adding sophisticated image processing to the cameras, the Nissan solution works just as effectively as sensors to facilitate features like pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning and blind-spot warning.

Proving that Nissan truly sticks to its word, the camera-based technology will be available in some of the most popular, mainstream models including the Nissan Rogue, Nissan Altima, Nissan Murano and Nissan Sentra. Instead of shoveling out thousands for the advanced features, consumers will only have to pay a few hundred.
