Obtaining data from the “brains” of cars


For the first time, a car manufacturer has opened the way for Norwegian research scientists to log data directly from the innermost systems of cars. If this practice becomes widespread, the transport industry will have a tool enabling vital decision-making at a national level.

When the Nissan Group last year contributed to the cause of research by allowing SINTEF to carry out direct logging of data from its “Leaf” cars, this represented a milestone.
