Nissan have confirmed that the next generation Nissan LEAF will include autonomous driving technology.

The all-electric LEAF will be fitted with the latest ProPILOT technology, enabling autonomous drive functionality in single-lane driving. Operated at the touch of a button, ProPILOT can control steering, acceleration and braking, providing assistance during heavy traffic congestion and long commutes.
