Some clowns in Germany decided to put the Infiniti Q50’s Active Lane Control system to the test. For those not in the know, ALC can make small adjustments to keep the vehicle in the correct lane, a feature that’s just starting to pick up steam. Instead of using it the way you’re supposed to – with both hands on the wheel – these guys not only take both hands off the steering, but at one point climb out of the seat while traveling at freeway speeds, just to see how automated the combination of ALC and adaptive cruise control really are.

Yes, we’ve seen this sort of stunt before, but it was done in extremely controlled circumstances that didn’t put the cars, the driver or any other motorists at risk and probably had appropriate emergency personnel on hand should the worst happen.

These nitwits took their hijinks to the Autobahn, though. Is it impressive to see how good the systems on the Q50 are are when left to their own devices? On some level, sure. But we’ve also experienced this system firsthand and had it wander out of lanes when bends in the road became a bit too much for the system to handle, or when lane markings deteriorated.
