Mathews Nissan

Nobody would argue the fact that mustard-colored cabs are as much of a New York City staple as hot dog vendors and crowded streets. But just because the high-use of taxis isn't changing, doesn't mean the way in which those traffic-weaving vehicles operate has to stay the same. Beginning next spring, NYC will introduce six electric Nissan LEAF cabs into the mix, giving the taxicab industry a bit more eco-friendly cred.

There are many safety technologies out there dedicated to helping drivers adapt safer habits on the road. However, when it comes down to the final, critical moment before an accident, even the safest driver can't always think straight. Thankfully, Nissan has done the thinking for you. Since 2005, the automaker has included Brake Override Technology standard across their entire lineup.
