Nissan’s first semi-autonomous driving-assistance tech will debut in Europe next year on the Qashqai crossover.

Called Piloted Drive 1.0, the system will act as a traffic-jam assist like that found on the Volvo XC90, which means it can operate only at lower speeds in a single highway lane with at least one car in front. It’s part of Nissan’s four-year plan to ramp up autonomous assists on lower-priced models.

Nissan is debuting the system at Geneva on a Qashqai concept, shown above.

Nissan seems bullish on the concept, though:
