Nissan has unveiled an updated version of its IMx platform, featuring “Brain-to-Vehicle” technology and ProPILOT for fully autonomous operation.

The IMx KURO concept, initially launched at the Tokyo Motor Show in October, made its European debut Tuesday at the Geneva Motor Show, showcasing further technological advancements.

The crossover electric vehicle, powered by a pair of electric motors at the front and rear, can produce 320 kW of power and 700 Nm of torque, more than the Nissan GT-R.

Its new battery, meanwhile, has a projected range of nearly 375 miles on a single charge.

At the heart of the IMx KURO, however, is Nissans new B2V technology, which promises to speed up reaction times for drivers.

“The driver wears a device that measures brain wave activity, which is then analyzed by autonomous systems,” a statement from Nissan read.

“By anticipating intended movement, the systems can take actions – such as turning the steering wheel or slowing the car – 0.2 to 0.5 seconds faster than the driver, while remaining largely imperceptible.”

Nissan’s ProPILOT technology is also integrated into the IMx KURO.

The concept vehicle was unveiled alongside its concept livery for its entry into the ABB FIA Formula E Championship.

“The IMx KURO zero-emission crossover concept vehicle embodies the future of Nissan Intelligent Mobility,” said Jose Munoz, Nissan’s chief performance officer.

“Nissan Intelligent Mobility is Nissan’s commitment to changing the way people and cars communicate, as well as how cars interact with society in the near future and beyond.”
