    After the sudden exit of Johan de Nysschen from the top role at Infiniti back in July, the Japanese luxury automaker has now announced that Roland Krüger will be its new president.

In 2008 he was appointed the head of the automaker’s Japanese unit and just last year he was promoted to the head of operations for all of Asia. Krüger’s background is in design...

    Infiniti Q50 May Revert To Older Hydraulic Steering

    Automakers are often at their best when trying something new and breaking free of industry norms, but Infiniti's drive-by-wire steering system, optional on the Q50S sedan, is very much not one of those times.

  • Guy gets out of the driver's seat in self-driving Infiniti Q50

    In a way, we admire the intestinal fortitude of the German in this video. In the interest of science, or at least YouTube views, he sets an Infiniti Q50S in self-driving mode and lets it cruise down the highway. Then he climbs out of the driver’s seat. ALSO SEE: World's Most Expensive RV Sold In Dubai In another way, we think this guy is completely crazy and more than a little dangerous to allow the Active Lane Control in the Infiniti to have complete control over the vehicle, and to take himself out of a position where he would be able to quickly and safely regain control if needed.
