Nissan obstacle avoidance system
Nissan plans to significantly reduce the number of car accidents by developing a collision avoidance system. The basis of this system was the behavior of the bee, which in flight surveyed a zone of 300 degrees, which allows the insect to effectively avoid obstacles. As confirmation of progress in this area of ​​research, at CEATEC Japan 2008, Nissan presented the robot Biomimetic Car Robot Drive (BR23C), operating along a similar, bee principle.
The BR23C uses a special Laser Range Finder (LRF) system developed by Nissan engineers that recognizes obstacles at a distance of two meters from the car. True, covering an angle of only 180 degrees. The information received is transmitted to the onboard computer, where it is instantly processed by the “semi-mythical” collision avoidance system (Nissan does not provide information about it). As a result, the BR23C almost instantly responds to obstacles and tries to circumvent them. And bypasses what's interesting. Representatives of the company claim that the system almost imitates instincts, i.e. works without delay and "automatic".
The use of a collision avoidance module as an option in serial cars is still far away. But, rejoicing in the success of the prototype in the form of the robot BR23C, Nissan is full of optimism and is going to reduce the number of accidents involving cars of this brand by 2015 by 2015 (due to the use of technology) compared to 1995.

There is even a video of how the baby BR23C copes with the “obstacle”.
