Nissan "Around View" Makes Driving Easier

by Evan Shamoon on October 15, 2007 at 08:40 AM



In a sure sign that technology is working for us, Nissan has figured out how to make parallel parking easier. The company's new Around View Monitor, available this month in Japan's new Elgrand mini-car/van thing, synthesizes the images taken by the car's cameras (located on all four corners of the car) into a single image. The result? A top-down view of your vehicle, helping you do things like parallel park and back over your ex-girlfriend's stereo with the greatest of ease. It's like an old-school video game display of your vehicle, making all those hours and quarters wasted playing Spy Hunter in the arcade seem suddenly seem incredibly worthwhile.

The tech will make its US debut in December, on the wheels of the new Infiniti EX35. What's next, dental floss that flosses for us? Someone please say yes.
