The Japanese car maker €”Nissan has taken robot cars few more steps forward. Few days ago, at CEATEC, Japan’€™s largest consumer electronics trade show, Nissan unveiled an autonomous electric car, branded as NSC-2015. The car can park itself, can come to its owner automatically when being called, and even warn about burglars.

The NSC-2015 is an autonomous electric vehicle. The car comes with all-around viewing cameras (the cameras can rotate 360 degree). It also features 4G connectivity along with usual GPS connectivity. Using these features, the car’s system can recognize the surrounding environment including underground parking lot. Besides, the owner (or driver) can monitor the car remotely. Using its autonomous functions, the car can park itself as soon as the driver gets out of the car. The car can execute a 90 degree turn and back in all on its own.

That’s not all. Drivers can give instructions to the NSC-2015 like starting up and driving itself from the parking spot to him/her through an app via mobile. With the help of this smartphone app, the driver can see the entire space around the car via the car’s cameras. The car can even send warning signals/alarms to its driver when it sees something unusual or unnatural.

From the names, it is being speculated that the car may hit the market in 2015 or 2016.
