We all know that the Earth is covered by the atmosphere. But perhaps it’s less known that within the atmospheric shield there are multiple layers that help protect us from all kinds of dangers.
The layer of the atmosphere up to 10-17km above the Earth’s surface is called the troposphere. Above this is the stratosphere, in which there is the ozone layer that filters the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. Above the stratosphere comes the mesosphere, where most meteors burn up so they don’t hit the surface.
Just as the Earth is protected by multiple layers, Nissan has a similar vision called "Safety Shield.” Through development of multiple layers of safety features, Nissan's comprehensive approach to safety inspired technologies that help reduce or keep dangers away as much as possible.

However, the number of traffic accidents and injuries themselves have not really changed. In order to realize a safer car society we need safety technology that helps prevent accidents from happening, not only reducing the damage if they occur. If we can fully develop this kind of technology, then a zero-accident future might be attainable.
To avoid colliding with other cars or pedestrians, drivers must avoid getting close to danger in the first place. In the previous two articles in this series we looked at Nissan's Forward Emergency Braking technology, the Emergency Assist for Pedal Misapplication, the Blind Spot Warning system and the Lane Departure Warning system. All of these technologies can help the driver avoid getting too close to dangers

In order to avoid getting too close to dangers, the driver should first be aware of his or her surroundings. The Forward Emergency Braking technology assists the driver by monitoring the distance and speed of the vehicle in front, while the Lane Departure Warning system can detect certain lane markings on the road as well as the relative location of the car.
