The 2014 Infiniti Q50 is One of the Most Technologically Advanced Vehicles Available

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. - April 10, 2013 - PRLog -- For the designers and engineers at Infiniti, the future is now. This is nowhere as apparent as it is in the new 2014 Infiniti Q50, which will be rolling into the showroom of Infiniti of Hoffman Estates (http://www.infinitihoffman.com/index.htm) this summer.

While many other automakers have been integrating various brake assist, collision avoidance, and adaptive cruise control systems in their vehicles, Infiniti has taken a huge step toward the development of a truly autonomous car. With their innovative Direct Adaptive Steering, an industry-first drive-by-wire system, they have adapted aerospace technology to the automobile, clearly pointing to a not-so-distant future where cars will drive themselves.

So how does Direct Adaptive Steering work? It is comprised of a series of sensors and actuators that instantly turn the wheels according to the data it gathers from the driver’s input on the steering wheel. Precision-engineered and integrated with redundant mechanical systems, it also provides the driver with four settings ― Sport, Standard, Touring, and Custom ― to adjust steering effort and response to personal preference.

Another pioneering technology included with the Q50 is Active Lane Control. Part of the Lane Departure Warning System, Active Lane Control uses a camera situated in the rearview mirror to monitor and interpret lane markings and road conditions, and it also senses road conditions and crosswinds, making the necessary steering adjustments to aid the driver.

These highly advanced features, in conjunction with other driver assist systems such as Adaptive Cruise Control with forward and rear collision intervention and Blind Spot Warning — all part of the array of safety features dubbed the Infiniti Safety Shield — make the Q50 one of the smartest cars around. Other techology features include:

Around View Monitor
Infiniti Connection smartphone app
Infiniti InTouch interface
