The Nissan Rogue offers Nissan ProPILOT Assist to help drivers maneuver more safely in traffic. With ProPILOT Assist, the Rogue can maintain speed allowing drivers to follow a preceding vehicle at a preset distance. Other ProPILOT Assist features allow drivers to stay centered in their lane of travel. Additionally, the Rogue can fully stop or return to road speed based on the flow of traffic.

Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection has the ability to stop the Rogue when it senses a pedestrian in the crosswalk. The Rear Automatic Braking System uses sonar to detect stationary things behind the car and can automatically stop the car to avoid or lessen a collision. Intelligent Lane Intervention uses lane markings to determine when the Rogue is drifting from its travel lane and applies brakes to keep that from happening. Intelligent Cruise Control helps the Rogue maintain a set speed to keep the car a set distance from preceding vehicles. The Rogue offers features to help drivers be more aware of their surroundings. Intelligent Around View Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning and Blind Spot Warning systems give drivers warnings when objects are hidden from view but can cause potential accidents.
