Nissan Motor Co. joined German automakers BMW AG and Volkswagen AG in allowing the driving data collected by Mobileye NV chips and sensors to be used in a collective map to enable autonomous driving.
The Japanese automaker has agreed to share information that will be merged with other carmakers’ data to create precise maps, Mobileye said in a statement Tuesday. The pact deepens an existing relationship between Nissan and Mobileye, with the two already working together for the ProPilot driver-assistance system that debuted last year.
