Infiniti says that the 2014 Q50, which replaces the Infiniti G37, is its best-ever sport sedan. That may be, but for better or worse, the new Q50 will be remembered not for that claim but rather for being one of the first cars with the ability to be driven nearly autonomously. With every available electronic driver aid engaged, it is possible to drive the sedan on a straight stretch of freeway for miles at a time with your hands off the steering wheel and your feet off the pedals, not that Infiniti advises that you do so. Whether you consider that ability to be progress or the beginning of the end of driving pleasure depends on your perspective. Even among the Automobile Magazine staff, our opinions differ widely on this matter. Infiniti stresses that the driving aids, most of which are extra-cost options, can all be turned off with the touch of a button.
