text: cases, we must focus on safety technologies that prompt 
  
  the vehicle itself to automatically assist the driver. An 
  
  example of this is Nissan’s Lane Departure Prevention 
  
  system or brake assist: When the vehicle approaches the 
  
  lane markers, this system not only warns the driver to pay 
  
  attention through a display and an audible buzzer, it also 
  
  generates part of the necessary yaw movement needed to 
  
  return the vehicle to its lane and safety. 
  
  Another Nissan safety innovation is the Around 
  
  View Monitor. This system offers a 360-degree view on 
  
  a dashboard display of what is around the vehicle. In 
  
  addition to significantly reducing the blind spots in driving, 
  
  the Around View Monitor is helpful when parking, since 
  
  it improves the driver’s field of vision and enables 
  
  better maneuverability. 
  
  In developing safety technologies, we also look at the 
  
  conditions that exist seconds before an unavoidable crash. 
  
  With this information, we can provide technologies to 
  
  minimize the impact and damage in addition to notifying the 
  
  authorities and calling for assistance afterward. Because 
  
  we are building on actual accident data, the final stage in 
  
  the Safety Shield involves collecting and analyzing the data 
  
  and feeding what we learn back into the development 
  
  process. We have committed ourselves to introducing over
