Ever wondered just how effective the Nissan Intelligent Around View Monitor (AVM) system is at helping drivers to navigate. Well, the brand put the capabilities of this system to the test in an attempt to set a new world record for the first-ever “blind” J-turn. For this stunt, Nissan used the all-new JUKE and the talents of stunt driver Paul Swift and presented him with the challenge of completing a full 180-degree J-turn with all of the JUKE’s windows completely blacked out. This meant that he would only be able to use the AVM system to help him see where he was going in order to successfully complete the turn while remaining inside the preset boundaries that were only 18cm (7 inches) longer than JUKE.
“This stunt is the perfect demonstration of the Nissan brand promise – Innovation that Excites,” said Stewart Callegari, general manager for Advanced Planning, Nissan Europe. “That promise is all about developing technology to make drivers’ lives simpler and safer, and Around View Monitor does just that.”
Watch the below to see the AVM system put to the ultimate test as Swift performs this record-setting stunt!
