What Is INFINITI ProPILOT Assist 2.1?

ProPILOT Assist version 2.1 is Infiniti’s latest automated driver assistance technology. This hands-free highway suite combines Intelligent Cruise Control with steer-by-wire assist to allow attentive drivers to relax their hands and let technology take over. So long as the driver’s eyes remain on the road ahead, ProPILOT Assist 2.1 will take care of acceleration, braking and steering — all without input from the driver. It can even help you overtake slower traffic without skipping a beat.

ProPILOT Assist 2.1 can be enabled anywhere in Infiniti’s extensive pre-mapped U.S. highway network. So long as you’re on one of these roads, you can enable ProPILOT Assist 2.1 and take your hands of the wheel and your feet off the pedals; just be sure to keep your eyes on the road, or ProPILOT Assist will prompt you to take manual control.

How Do I Use ProPILOT Assist 2.1?

First, you’ll need to be on one of the highways that INFINITI has digitally mapped for hands-free driving. A blue light will illuminate in the interior and an icon will appear in the information display to let you know that the system is ready. After that, enabling ProPILOT Assist 2.1 is as simple as tapping the ProPILOT button on the steering wheel. The cluster icon will change to let you know the car has taken control. Relax your hands and feet and enjoy the ride!

And what if you encounter slow traffic? No worries; ProPILOT Assist 2.1 can help you overtake. The information display will indicate that you’ve approached a slower vehicle. When this happens, all you need to do is put your hands on the wheel and tap the confirmation button on the wheel to let the system know you’re ready to overtake. The car will do the rest.

If you happen to linger in the passing lane too long, ProPILOT Assist 2.1 will prompt you with a reminder to move back into the travel lane, helping to promote good traffic flow and allowing you to focus on the road ahead. All you have to do is tap the indicator to merge back over to the travel lane.
