Most likely, you are familiar with lane departure warning and other proactive safety features. Many vehicles today take advantage of this technology to keep drivers and others on the road safe and secure. However, did you know that INFINITI was among the first to showcase this? In fact, the automaker has been using it since 2004.
In 2004, INFINITI pioneered lane departure warning in its FX model. The technology senses when the driver is about to move without signaling and alters them before they do so. It’s a fantastic way to avoid accidents and help you to stay vigilant on the road.
Today, lane departure warning is part of INFINITI’s Safety Shield technologies. The associated prevention tool actually guides you back into place if you have started to drift. This amazing feature works via a discreet rearview camera that gauges the distance between you and other cars, as well as the markings on the road, to determine where you should be driving. All of this is designed to enhance, rather than override, the control of the driver.
Safety Shield technologies are available in many INFINITI models today, including the Q50, Q60, Q70, QX30, and QX60. Stop by your local Tacoma dealership today and take a test drive of one of these fabulous vehicles!
