Nissan LMP1
Yokohama, Japan - Today, Nissan announced that it will withdraw its LMP1 entry from the 2016 FIA World Endurance Championship.
Nissan entered LMP1 in the 2015 season with an innovative new, and bold concept, with the ambition to compete at the front of the field.
The teams worked diligently to bring the vehicles up to the desired performance levels. However, the company concluded that the program would not be able to reach its ambitions and decided to focus on developing its longer term racing strategies.
Racing is a core part of the Nissan DNA, and the company has a proud history of innovating to win. Nissan’s commitment to motorsports remains strong, as evidenced by its victorious track record in the 2015 season – from achieving the overall winner of Super GT two years in a row in Japan, to winning the Blancpain Endurance Pro Class, Bathurst 12hr race with the GT-R GT3. Nissan will continue its support of WEC through its various engine programs including recent introduction of LMP3 engine.
Toyota Map Generation System
Toyota City, Japan, Dec. 22, 2015 -- To aid the safe implementation of automated driving, Toyota is developing a high-precision map generation system that will use data from on-board cameras and GPS devices installed in production vehicles. The new system will go on display at CES (Consumer Electronics Show) 2016 in Las Vegas, which will run from January 6 through 9.
Toyota's new system uses camera-equipped production vehicles to gather road images and vehicle positional information. This information is sent to data centers, where it is automatically pieced together, corrected and updated to generate high precision road maps that cover a wide area.
An understanding of road layouts and traffic rules (including speed limits and various road signs) is essential for the successful implementation of automated driving technologies. Additionally, high precision measurement of positional information requires the collection of information on dividing lines, curbs, and other road characteristics.
Until now, map data for automated driving purposes has been generated using specially-built vehicles equipped with three-dimensional laser scanners. The vehicles are driven through urban areas and on highways, and data is collected and manually edited to incorporate information such as dividing lines and road signs. Due to the infrequent nature of data collection, maps generated in this manner are seldom updated, limiting their usefulness. Additionally, this represents a relatively cost-intensive method of gathering data, due to the need to manually input specific types of data.
Toyota's newly developed system uses automated cloud-based spatial information generation technology (developed by Toyota Central R&D Labs., Inc.) to generate high precision road image data from the databanks and GPS devices of designated user vehicles. While a system relying on cameras and GPS in this manner has a higher probability of error than a system using three-dimensional laser scanners, positional errors can be mitigated using image matching technologies that integrate and correct road image data collected from multiple vehicles, as well as high precision trajectory estimation technologies. This restricts the system's margin error to a maximum of 5 cm on straight roads. By utilizing production vehicles and existing infrastructure to collect information, this data can be updated in real time. Furthermore, the system can be implemented and scaled up at a relatively low cost.
To support the spread of automated driving technologies, Toyota plans to include this system as a core element in automated driving vehicles that will be made available in production vehicles by around 2020. While initial use of the system is expected to be limited to expressways, future development goals include expanding functionality to cover ordinary roads and assist in hazard avoidance. Toyota will also seek to collaborate with mapmakers, with the goal of encouraging the use of high precision map data in services offered by both the public and private sectors.
In October 2015, Toyota introduced the Mobility Teammate Concept, which is part of the company's approach to embracing automated driving technologies while keeping fun at the center of the driving experience. To that end, the Mobility Teammate Concept envisages a driver-car relationship based on a shared purpose?somewhat like a relationship between close friends who alternately watch over each other and help each other out. Toyota will continue to develop of technologies that aid the spread of automated driving technologies, with the aim of realizing a society where mobility is synonymous with safety, efficiency, and freedom

Tips To Get The Most Off A Budget Car Rental
Tips To Get The Most Off A Budget Car Rental - Budget Car Rental is the savior of travelers stranded in one place and from expensive to take a taxi. But with today's competitive market, I would not be surprised that of trying to hire a car you end up renting a lawnmower instead. Well maybe not a lawnmower, but sometimes, well most of the time, people who help you in car rentals just do not have your best interests in mind, so you end up paying a truckload of money to a pool of frustration. To avoid this, here are some tips to get the budget, the budget of the rental car.
 |
| Budget Car Rental |
1. If the voters do not you'are car rental with the budget, trying to get a budget car rental through sites that let you rent a car at your own price. These companies will try to get the best deal for a car that you will get and might just throw unlimited mileage and upgrades, all of that without spending an extra dime from the budget.
2. Look for package deals, fly-drive-stay, or encouragement fly, most of these packages give great discounts for rentals, but do not do with an airline, airlines although convenient are not really a more economical way to go, budget cars for rental prices hardly budget, and tend to be higher than outside companies.
3. Use the internet to reserve a rental car. Ah, the internet, what other good can give? Yes there is a budget car hire on the internet that can give a better offer. Some budget car rental sites even go as far as internet only discounts. Additionally you can easily get upgrades and depending on the season, at least one rental company is bound to have a special offer that can help you save money, plus, you can rent a car in the comfort of your own home, beat that!
4. there is still one last ditch of possibilities Ask for discounts that may apply to you, remember even when you have scored the best deal, that one of your credit cards to support the company and provide discounts or that your frequent flyer program or military service can put that car rental budget in the budget, along shot but worth a try.
5. Most budget car rentals are low on maintenance so that when you rent a car, check all sides for damage, and I mean every side and every nook and cranny of the car, be sure to inform the tenant of this so that you will not have to pay for the damage after you return the car. In addition, try to check all the accessories, wipers, radio, brakes, seatbelts, etc., to familiarize themselves with them, and also to check if they work, like the previous tip, you may be charged for this if you do not tell them.
6. Now we pass the subject of insurance, sometimes your own car insurance covers car rentals, so having a look see before you buy insurance from the rental company. Budget car rental insurance does not cost much, but if you already have one why buy another? Car rental insurance is always required when you rent a car.
7. Another money saving tip is to take your car in the morning, make it so that the company just opened, because currently most of the budget rental car has not been returned, and you may get an upgrade for a lower price.
