New Nissan Leaf ProPilot autoparking test

[@tipazas]

Impressive system must admit, impressed by possibility of manual adjustments and it is also much more usable, when you don't need to change gears.

[@kasmopaya2676]

Agreed, EVs again superior, the same with Pre Heater as Standard Feature and without exhaust fumes. My next car is an EV that's for sure.

[@ladylisajj]

Love my 2019 leaf only had it 4 weeks and I’m totally in love with it. I have to admit I’ve not tried the parking yet as I thought it would be a bit scary but watching this I’ve just got to try it now.😀

[@josedelacruz256]

Bjørn Nyland you are the freaking man! Great videos on the New 2018 NIssan Leaf. These are by far the best 2018 Nissan Leaf videos out right now. Love your work man!

[@rtr_dnd]

Very impressed! It parked faster than I thought. Most of parking assist systems out there are so slow that we can't use them really in real world, but I think I will use this.

[@rlee82]

Bjorn: "Squeeze in here." ProPilot: "Why you wasting my CPU? There's a hugh spot over there." Bjorn: "Shiiiiit."

[@iKaGe01]

Even if I wouldn't really use it (unless a space was so tight only the car could do it quick enough), I found the demo really impressive, so thanks :) Being able to manually input a space is the best feature I think

[@marcoshenz]

It's like you are reading my mind on the next thing that should be tried. This is what makes your videos so great!

[@imho7250]

Maybe you have to be at the proper parallel parking position (even with the front car) before you press the park button so it knows where you want to park. It looked like it didn’t lock onto the other spot until you were even with the car in front of it.

[@craigbrown5667]

Agreed!

[@mike-pd4tq]

Can't wait for Bjorn to test the Tesla Semi ! It's goona be crazy .

[@JoseVargas-dx7wz]

Fantastic implementation of automatic parking! it impressed me more than tesla´s. Specially because you can choose a virtual paring spot in manual mode! Also the 360 degree camera is just what people with depth perception problems need!

[@decimal1815]

I really really want this on my next car! Thanks for the real-world demo :)

[@Andy766702]

Excellent video, loved watching this in an un-rehearsed format it shows what can happen in real life. Thank you.

[@leegalecio]

Impressive, but I’m more impressed of how quite it was in the car with those Gail force winds outside!

[@ragingsilver]

My gen 1 ford focus does that parrelel parking issue too. I feel like the sensors are always active which is why it finds the spot I don't want it to go into. They should make another button like "skip" when searching for spaces.

[@rymannphilippe]

THIS IS AMAZING. Now my tesla is waaayyyyyy behind with software. If Nissan can update his software tesla better get hury. Its the same iPhone, first tesla they are 10 years in front and now they get overrun by others.

[@Elyygee]

Don't worry Tesla will catch up with user friendly OTA updates. You will need to drive to a dealer to update the Leaf.

[@imho7250]

@8:12 let it find a spot, then simulate driving to the front door of the store, then jam an orange peal in the deadman switch, get out of the car, and see if it can go park itself. LOL.

[@ranjitmene9616]

Thanks for the video. This is a fantastic innovation by Nissan!

[@azera55555]

so awesome! One of the best parking systems I've ever seen

[@lorrenelanger6950]

This is great.... I have been trying this, but I get to everything except the dead man switch won't kick in...why. What have I missed. The start button is slow to flash on... have I got a problem.... I also don't have an SD card can this be part of the problem?

[@craigbrown5667]

Maybe you engaged the auto park too early for parallel parking. It finds the first available space, so maybe you engage it when your passing the first e-NV200? Great video as always!

[@MicheIIePucca]

Loved that test! Makes me wonder if I should get a leaf over the model 3

[@Bryan-fg3ey]

Our 2016 nissan qashqai has a very simular auto parking system,ie you can park nose or tail in and parallel parking,Inc the manual adjust. However we have to select the gears and pedals.

[@mithrasmale]

Does it have park out assist to get out of tight spots?

[@NanoMine]

I think It was doing that because it already found a spot at back. So if you came to that position in reverse (or avoiding the park space at back) then it might have found it.

[@seanrobin6573]

Absolutely Magnificent INSIGHT 👌🏿

[@asabattini]

would it be possible to use this feature to park the Leaf in a tight garage?

[@Trades46]

This is impressive, considering again this is a car that cost only ~$40k loaded. Companies like Ford have auto parallel park, but you won't find perpendicular parking on a car that isn't from a luxury brand. Nissan is really bringing high-tech to the masses with this car.

[@colincampbell3679]

So Cool... I am amazed by the all round parking camera very clever indeed they can get the camera to do that as if you seeing the car from above like your own drone staying above you :) In the last part Bjorn you where almost crapping bricks when the car inched it's self into the tight between car parking place? Really nice to see this feature shown off thanks! So you got a break from the cold Norway for some sun and new driving I am pleased you got it?

[@rasalas91]

little late now, but what happens if something is in the way of the preset forward position?

[@przemekcyrulik95]

This hard breaking really encourages for learning to park :D but seriously this system is awesome!

[@jotobartsch4038]

I think, in parallel perking, the system takes the first sport after enabling an sticks with it.

[@Spottermarc2011]

I know you have limited time and a lot of wind but outside view would have been nice

[@bjornnyland]

+Marc van Zuylen Not possible due to lots of other Leafs on the lot.

[@Spottermarc2011]

I can understand, you don't want your cam to get run over =) btw "Not possible due to lots of other Leafs on the lot" sounds like autumn xD

[@xezzee]

You can park on both left and right side yes? But manually when placing the parking can you throw it on the other side? Edit: Example if you want to park on your left can you manually choose the spot if the automatic wont recognize the parking spot?

[@OilBeefHooked]

Jeg bestilte meg denne bilen i September, ser virkelig frem til å få den levert. Var ute en time med demobil i dag, og vil ikke si det at jeg gleder meg noe mindre etter det. Fikk ikke prøvd all teknologien du viser da, for jeg ville finne ut hvor stort strømforbruk det var på tur/retur jobb.

[@claudec815]

For the auto park in parallel to work I would try pushing the start only when you have passed the car behind.

[@sergeyyevtukh388]

I think, the Nissan auto park is actually looking for more “approachable “ spot, less risk is better kind of approach, so as soon as it’s spotted better spot it won’t recommend you a titter one, we can’t fool the smart system. Basically you need a long row of cars an only one tight spot available so that system would have no other choice kind off situation, than it might take the only available one.

[@jmer9126]

Can it park itself into a narrow garage space?

[@victorvillasana3409]

What if there is a big pot hole? Will the car continue? Next time bring a bucket and put it in the way. I'm curious if it can see small objects.

[@shunhuang]

Nice job showing the features of the New Leaf. How is your trip in Ca with your love one

[@djaysenpai]

that last parralel parking was largely doable in 2 maneuver but it did a pretty good job overall.

[@StevenPeeters]

The Tesla should ba able to park in between lines too, with all the camera's on AP2 cars. However, up until now, it only uses the ultrasonics. That is one feature I hope is coming really soon (and not the Tesla "soon" :-) )

[@TheJanicetunes]

LOL you are funny!!! Thank you so much for doing these videos!!!! I've learned so much about my car I'm driving and other ev's from your channel. The dealerships know absolutely nothing. Of course I'm sure tesla does but I don't have one of those yet. I was going between the bolt and the leaf and after seeing all the cool features. I think I'll be getting the 2018 leaf. I'll be leasing until I can afford a tesla LOL

[@krisnapirasathloges9534]

Is that propark assist or normal park assist

[@duoduocgh]

To detect the spot between the two cars, activate park assist until you are right next to the right spot. Then it will not stick to the spot behind like in the video. Real world tested.

[@flitsies]

Ok so what would happen if you set it up got it going to park and suddenly someone with a smaller vehicle jumped into the spot? Or what would happen if the space you wanted to park in was a little odd, ie at an angle? Or if someone stood in it's way or on a ramp, what if there were some rubbish in the kerb or if there was something sticking out from the other vehicle from a roof rack would it simply drive onto the object let's say a pole sticking out?

[@decimal1815]

the Leaf automatically fires a guided missile at any cars that try to steal your parking spot, and pedestrians are deterred from walking in front of the car while parking by the built-in flame throwers.

[@ronbihnam3474]

What trim is this nissan leaf?

[@WaltersGuides]

you actually did it, lol, I'm quite sure that if you tell the guys from nissan, they will be impressed

[@MonacoPoker]

This test was very interesting !

[@MrPompousPilot]

Bjorn, of all the new "affordable" new ev's, which is your favorite so far?

[@finvka1]

Great video again and very informative. But these parking aids are not something that everyone needs or ever uses. I can (fortunately) still park my own car...

[@antoniocirino8444]

Have you tried the parallel parking in tight street (not tight spots)? For example 3 meters large?

[@bjornnyland]

Leaf is about 4.5 m. It will not fit in 3 m space.

[@antoniocirino8444]

Bjørn Nyland non length (4.5 meters) but the width of the street. I have a road that misure 3 meters width plus 2.5 meters of the parking slot, the leaf will do the correction for enter in the parking slot because the road is not very large to do the manouvre?

[@seamstressy6416]

Great video and demonstration! Thanks!

[@dotnetdevni]

How the feck is it getting the top down view ?

[@iKaGe01]

I have an idea haha. You know you can manually set it and it reversed up to that point, set a point, drive around a car park and then let the car drive to it. Would it work? :p

[@AllPr0]

I think It leaves more space in the front to let the passenger of the car in front to access the trunk

[@bjornnyland]

No, the spot chosen was closer to the back car than the front car.

[@bartvenom6883]

FALCON HEAVY TODAY YEAAAA BOIIII,Also good video?Does Bjørn is going to watch Falcon Heavy stream?

[@lmlmd2714]

I so need this in my life!

[@Patrobasket]

Thanks Bjorn. Some Spanish: H in Spanish is mute so you should pronounce "noh ablah" not "noh hablah"

[@pranavkallem9823]

I think it would be cool to get the car to park inside a garage using the manual parking.

[@oykkh29]

It sounds like a truck when u reverse?.

[@robertzysblat7833]

What a great video !! Fantastic !

[@zoebettina]

will never understand why u need auto parking in usa...europe makes sense

[@berttroubleyn3475]

Very nice vid. Nissan's idea looks very clever, but the execution still seems highly problematic. Especially ergonomically: you have to push so many buttons before it actually works, and even then it's still sort of half-baked (for the parallel parking at least). Something to improve for the facelift in 3 years time, I guess.

[@bluefoxtv1566]

Well the system is cool its much to slow. I could have been in the spot in the same time it takes to cycle through the menu and select the spot. I guess it could be nice on a large van or truck as they can be hard for people who don't drive something so large often.

[@gregandkaruna6674]

Or for when you get old and lose confidence, this system will be a lifesaver to all of us as we get older! I have seen the Tesla self park and this is far superior, yes a little slow, but first time every time is better than scraping the dam alloys on the kerb :-)

[@bluefoxtv1566]

Personally If you are old and no longer confident in operating a vehicle of this size you should maybe not be driving.

[@gregandkaruna6674]

BlueFoxTV lol I work with older people and I know first hand how it feels for them to have to stop driving, losing your independence, it is so short sighted then it's your turn maybe will you think back to how you made this comment, when some young person takes that freedom away from you...probably for you and me automaton will help stop us losing that, but current older people are not so lucky!

[@bluefoxtv1566]

I witnessed it when my grandfather had his taken away and i also have experienced as well, i know the depression it can bring. But it has not change my stance on the subject.

[@bluefoxtv1566]

@ Dan Brown. Most likely true

[@kriskristinadass3196]

Perpendicular or Bay Parking 😉

[@FancyaBevMate]

Frigging Amazing!

[@eerikhm]

03:00 That giant Nissan in the corner of the screen

[@esunisen3862]

12:00 Dat wind !!

[@kasmopaya2676]

And so quiet inside, impressive... Well done Nissan. Looking forward to 60KW battery pack. Please bring it ASAP.

[@dkdanis1340]

Wow so smart

[@Dracomo]

wow, this is impressive.

[@pareshpanchal91]

Impressive!

[@darrenfadrigon3919]

Nice !!!

[@heydarmussavi]

It's really nice

[@13thCP]

Damn! Another reason for me to get a #nissanleaf!

[@mistermister2085]

Should have had a drone up above you taking video.

[@bjornnyland]

Bad idea. Very windy there plus it's not allowed to fly a drone 50 m close to a car, house, road or humans.

[@dominicpaleracio844]

Do you think propilot is worth the extra money? Cuz in Norway it´s an option.

[@bjornnyland]

Absolutely!

[@Tomblom]

I bought just for the secondhand value. I'm guessing it will make the car easier to sell and it was only 4500 NOK

[@rymannphilippe]

I think Nissan implemented GTA into the Software.

[@АнтонАгроМаш-Юг]

Very coool👍🏼

[@colla555]

Totally not related to the car: Until this vide I was not aware that wind turbines are that loud.

[@spacedoutET]

That's very good. Especially in a car park at a supermarket where zombie people just randomly decide to walk behind you slowly, without a worry in the world. 🙄

[@purestylemkk]

Cool

[@pranavkallem9823]

It looks like a 2D parking game.

[@EOtekk]

Great demonstration. However, I must play devil's advocate and say that most people can park 4 times faster than this system can. It's perfect for situations where the parking spot is in very tight quarters, but I find this to be quite useless in a normal parking lot.

[@ShawnSonnentag]

I like the 360 view, but auto parking is a gimmick in my opinion. It's just too cumbersome and slow to be practical. With the 360 view, parking becomes a no-brainer anyway. I do appreciate the demonstrations though. It just seems that the software engineers' time would be better spent on other endeavors.

[@aalberto4961]

Pro parking assist for millennials. Just kidding. Great video. I love Nissans and have 2 Infinitis with surround view and use it extensively. I personally don’t need a car to park for me. Nissan has come a long way with this technology. I also have a Chevy Bolt 2018 on order to add to my driveway and it has a bird’s eye view too but has no auto parking features. That’s okay.

[@antoniocirino8444]

My next car will be the Nissan Leaf 60 kWh.

[@antoniocirino8444]

Dan Sanger the problem is the AC charger. If they still use the 7 kW AC Charger, they use the Chademo + J1772 or Type 1. There are voices about an 11 kW Charger Triphase and then we can have the COMBO CCS.

[@colla555]

At the end of this article there is a table that says, the e-Plus version will have a 11-22 kW onboard charger: pushevs.com/2017/12/29/nissan-sees-leafs-competition/

[@ukaszklimkiewicz9223]

Won't work in Poland. It takes too long. Here we have to fight for every single little parking space. ;)

[@oceancaster]

In Italy too. In the time it makes the first maneuver another car has already stolen your spot and the driver is already out of it. :D

[@rightall9026]

The owner of this car envies

[@RubenKelevra]

So the only time you need it it doesn't work? Great!

[@Yutani_Crayven]

Good feature. Unfortunate that the display and interface are so small and ugly.

[@steverioux1897]

Just enough space for a small Asian car! :)

[@Jonathan_Blatter]

to get out of the spot will not be easy

[@bjornnyland]

It was easy.

[@4tabs363]

Stupid system. Audi is the best parking assistant.

[@joshdaniel8609]

PER-PEN-DIC-U-LAR parking..😆

[@peterrobannsobrepena6029]

For female drivers, useful

[@larsdoogle9240]

If i was a woman, i would love this - but i am a dude, do not need those shinanigans

[@bjornnyland]

That's discrimination.

[@larsdoogle9240]

First - No it isn't discrimination - simply statistics - Women have more problems parking in tight spots than men. And second, i am not discriminating anyone, simply stating that I (Me) does not need those shinanigans.
