This concept is part of Nissan's plans to introduce autonomous driving technologies on multiple vehicles by 2020. Carlos Ghosn revealed this mission in August 2013, and the company says progress of the plan is well on track.

Ghosn added that the concept compensates for human error, which causes more than 90 percent of all car accidents.

Stressing on the 'fun to drive' quotient, the Nissan IDS experience is programmed in such a way that even as the driver chooses Piloted Drive mode and surrenders complete control of the vehicle, the car will perform imitating the driver's own style of accelerating, braking and cornering.
