How INFINITI inTouch will make your Drive Better

While many see automotive technology as undermining and replacing human drivers, the most advanced devices have as much potential to enhance drivers’ activities as to eliminate them. This is particularly true of the INFINITI InTouch system, which combines navigation, entertainment, security, and communication into a single platform. By minimizing distractions and making information easily available, InTouch empowers drivers to improve their driving skills and reach each destination safely and efficiently.

Voice Command Considered

Despite the name, InTouch is not limited to physical controls. The system offers a voice command feature in addition to its touch screen, allowing drivers to control every aspect of the system without lifting a finger. This improves driving skills on two fronts. On the one hand, it means that you will have no reason to take your eyes off the road or remove either hand from the wheel. You can thus remain fully focused on your driving no matter what else you need to do. At the same time, voice command means that you can access any information you need, including information that is essential for avoiding danger and finding your destination. There is thus no conflict between driving safely and receiving necessary updates.

Next-Step Navigation

One of the most important forms of information you can access en route is navigational instructions. The INFINITI InTouch platform provides clear directions to reach any destination. The system offers both visual and voice instructions, making it easy to follow without taking your eyes off the road. There is thus little need to fumble around with your smartphone, a map, or written directions while driving, reducing the risk of a potentially dangerous distraction. The InTouch navigation system also takes traffic into account, helping you steer through blocked roads quickly and without engaging in risky behaviors.

Weather Wisdom

The INFINITI InTouch system comes with SiriusXM Weather, a service that pays close attention to both current conditions and future forecasts. The Weather feature will warn you of coming storms up to 5 days in advance, and if there is a serious storm in your present path, it will notify you in detail. This information makes it easier for you to plan your trips on days and along routes so as to avoid dangerous weather. It also means that if there is a storm in your path that you cannot avoid, you can slow the vehicle, turn on your lights, and take other safety precautions ahead of time.

TravelLink Techniques

InTouch offers access to SiriusXM TravelLink, a service that will identify the location of gas stations and other establishments you may need to visit along the route. With this system, you are less likely to run out of fuel on long trips, and thus won’t have to take any risky gambits in order to reach a gas station on time.
