INFINITI Technology

INFINITI’s Lane Departure Prevention system uses a camera to monitor the distance between the vehicle and lane markings. If the vehicle drifts, the system signals a warning and can even selectively apply the brakes to help keep your vehicle in its lane.

This world’s first system warns the driver of risks that may be obscured from the driver’s forward field of vision. It can not only sense the relative velocity and distance of a vehicle directly ahead, but also of a vehicle travelling in front of the preceding one. Like other INFINITI technologies such as Forward Emergency Braking it can help provide a more confident driving experience.

INFINITI’s Around View® Monitor broke new ground in onboard camera systems when it debuted in 2007; the latest version incorporating Moving Object Detection is even more helpful than a standard backup camera, it alerts you to moving objects detected around the vehicle.

While no camera system can replace a cautious and attentive driver, INFINITI technology is making parking easier for its drivers every day.

INFINITI’s Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) helps keep your vehicle from unintentionally drifting from your lane. LDP uses a camera to monitor the distance between the vehicle and lane markings and, if the vehicle drifts towards the lane markers, the system first sounds a audible warning, followed by a selective application of the brakes to help move your vehicle back into its lane.

INFINITI’s Blind Spot Intervention® System is a world’s-first technology that helps alert the driver to vehicles in the blind spot area. It also actively assists you back toward the center of your travel lane if you begin to move over.

INFINITI’s Intelligent All-Wheel Drive provides power and support where and when you need it, instantly adapting to the changing conditions of the road. By constantly monitoring wheelspin, throttle position and vehicle speed, this system automatically diverts up to 50% of the available power to the front wheels, enhancing traction and control when conditions are less than optimal. When all-wheel drive is not needed, the system sends 100% of the power to the rear wheels for more responsive road performance.

By using advanced technology to calculate the distance between you and the vehicle in front of you, as well as the speed of both vehicles, this INFINITI innovation can detect the possibility of a collision, and help you avoid it.

A World’s First Technology, INFINITI’s Direct Adaptive Steering® (DAS) removes the mechanical connection between the steering wheel and tires, allowing for instantaneous driver input that can be digitally processed and adjusted up to 1,000 times per second. The DAS is unaffected by the kickback and forced movement of conventional steering but still gradually requires more effort with increased speed and G-forces like a conventional system.

More than 20 years in the making, INFINITI’s groundbreaking new VC-Turbo is the world’s first production variable compression ratio engine. One of the most technologically-advanced internal combustion engines ever created, the VC-Turbo is capable of physically transforming on demand, delivering the efficiency of four cylinders alongside the performance of a much larger powerplant.
