New active lane-centering system is one of the best we've tested, and it's coming to affordable cars.

Nissan has yet to confirm whether the Rogue will get ProPilot Assist, but who's kidding whom?

ProPilot Assist is activated by thumbing the blue button, -then tapping "Set" on the cruise control. Easy-peasy.

The center stack lets you know whether ProPilot Assist is active, and you can set the amount of space you want between you and the vehicle you are following.

Over 50,000 miles of testing has been done on ProPilot Assist, much of it out of Nissan's suburban Michigan test center.

ProPilot is a hands-on system. Take your hands off, and the system will grow increasingly angry with you before slowing the car to a stop.
