Distronic Plus... driving changes forever; your eyes can wonder in traffic; watch as houses get built along the road; no need for the constant utmost attention in traffic, the car simply takes care of it; reduces stress and fatigue. I drive 100km one way to work every day... time simply flies while letting the Distronic take care of the rest. I only had to two requirement when buying the current car: adaptive cruise and quiet. My S350 fits both.

In this day and age of distracted driving, I can't believe anybody would post anything like this. D+ is not a fully autonomous system and will not protect you when somebody else makes a mistake or isn't paying attention.

You gotta remember this is technology that came on these cars wayyy back many years ago But i had the same thing on a previous Q45 Infiniti back in 2002, and I don't miss it. But then again, I'm not doing big trips.

It is difficult to accurately describe... I am not talking about texting and reading the paper, or falling asleep
I should have added, when you hot town... at 60km/h or less... also not saying 'pay no attention', but reduced alertness due to the benefit of the D+; this also applies to effortless sticking to the limit, and adoption of speed to present situation.
