Nissan has become the latest car manufacturer to enter an agreement with Israeli self-driving car system developer Mobileye.

The Japanese automaker joins Volkswagen and BMW in generating anonymised, crowdsourced data to create high-precision road maps through Mobileye’s Road Experience Management (REM) data generation technology.

Mobileye and Nissan previously worked together on an autonomous vehicle demonstration in London last year.

“We welcome the opportunity to take this next step with our valued partner Nissan,” said Professor Amnon Shashua, chairman and CTO of Mobileye. “Im very pleased that innovative work by our engineering teams is resulting in the confidence of customers to adopt REM™.  We now have significant commitments from multiple global automakers to generate and share data from camera-equipped ADAS vehicles, and then utilize the resulting Global RoadBook as a critical input within autonomous vehicle systems.”

Mobileye was acquired by Intel for $15.3bn (£12.6bn), or $63.54 per share in cash, last month. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the year.
