While most people are still caught up in what’s under the hood of the 2019 INFINITI QX50 (which is incredible, by the way), we also happen to think there are plenty more impressive qualities worth writing home about — not the least of which are the many advanced safety innovations.
Equipped with the latest and greatest in driver-assistance technologies, this impressive crossover is confidence-inspiring. Designed to complement and enhance the operator’s own natural abilities, the suite of security features are another step towards autonomous driving.
For starters, Forward Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection utilizes sensors on the front of the vehicle to monitor conditions ahead. If a potential incident is predicted, the intelligent system will automatically apply pressure to the dampers in order to avoid a frontal collision.
Meanwhile, Lane Departure Warning and Prevention uses radars on the QX50’s undercarriage to monitor markings on the pavement. It can, therefore, alert the motorist if they start to drift out of their lane. In severe cases, the internal CPU will intervene if necessary, redirecting the vehicle back into its rightful path.
