In 2013, INFINITI became the first automaker to introduce a “steer-by-wire” system in a production car. The 2014 INFINITI Q50 offers INFINITI’s Direct Adaptive Steering™ which, transmits steering inputs electronically instead of mechanically, providing quicker and more precise response, as well as unsurpassed levels of customization. Direct Adaptive Steering lets the driver personalize steering modes, effort and response, while reducing the transmission of negative feedback from rough roads through the steering column.
