Nissan Motor Company, Ltd., currently the second largest japanese car manufacturer, has released the new Skyline Crossover which features some advanced technologies and safety systems, including an around view monitor with parking guide and lane departure prevention system.

the around view monitor system incorporates a new parking guide function, which gives the driver a birds-eye view of the vehicle to help them see the car in relation to parking lines and obstacles. the guide can also indicate to the person behind the wheel, where to begin backing in and how to steer using the birds-eye view and audio cues. the front / rear wide view function also provides 180-degree visibility in both the front and rear providing a sense of safety in blind intersections. front wide view function which is linked to the car’s navigation system automatically shows the front wide view when the car is stationary.

designboom is currently hosting a competition in collaboration with Nissan and we’re looking for submissions which illustrate your perception within the theme of ‘think outside the parking box’ – challenging conventional urban parking. playful enhanced parking technology, robotic facilities, safety, dynamic services, green parking, creative solutions that address urban parking problems, statements of objections, creative-innovative-and-hilarious ideas in form of videos, art- design objects and illustrations can be submitted.
