A Steer-by-Wire System Will be Available With the 2013 Infiniti Q50

BARRINGTON, Ill. - March 15, 2013 - PRLog -- Motor Werks Infiniti of Barrington (http://www.motorwerksinfiniti.com/index.htm) is proud to be one of Chicagoland’s top auto dealerships, offering the latest luxury vehicles from Infiniti alongside an extensive inventory of pre-owned models. Infiniti has established itself as a leader in the automotive industry, offering an impressive array of cutting-edge technology in their vehicles. One of these is a steer-by-wire system, which will be available in the 2014 Q50.

Infiniti’s steer-by-wire system is called Direct Adaptive Steering, and is the latest in what is becoming a formidable list of drive-by-wire technologies. It’s revolutionary in that it doesn’t use mechanical linkage to send the driver’s input from the steering wheel to the vehicle’s wheels — rather, it does this by way of a digital signal.

There are two primary benefits to this technology. First, it allows the steering system to communicate driving conditions to the vehicle’s safety technologies, enhancing the safety of the occupants; second, it gives drivers greater control of the feel of the vehicle’s steering. On this latter point, the 2014 Q50 will give drivers the choice of 96 different steering ratios. In other words, it’s safer, and also gives drivers even more choices about how they wish to drive their vehicle.

“It allows the car to adapt to all kinds of different driving situations,” said Bert Brooks, senior product planning manager for the Q50, “and the system can be tuned by the driver for different settings.”

The 2014 Infiniti Q50 (http://www.motorwerksinfiniti.com/2014-infiniti-q50.htm) is expected to be available in summer of 2013. It will be replacing the G37 in Infiniti’s lineup, and will offer impressive power and ample features. One innovation this vehicle will offer is the elimination of most of the vehicle’s knobs and buttons — most of the vehicle’s systems will be controlled by way of a large touchscreen. Infiniti is truly committed to furthering its commitment to the latest technology with the new Q50.

The 2013 Q50 is made all the more exciting by the introduction of innovative new technologies like drive-by-wire steering.
