There is much more at stake sitting in an aircraft having avionics land the plane without a flight crew in the flight deck.
Google already has said self-driving car. There are self driving trains. Still less at stake than having an aircraft fall from the sky due to a computer or mechanical malfunction without a flight crew to intervene.

Not sure if this is new information since the reveal, but the Autoweek article has a date of 1/21. Says Q50 to get turbo 4 in two years...

The planned turbo four-cylinder engine will come from the Renault-Nissan Alliance's technology partnership with Daimler. Infiniti will receive an engine derived from the engine used in the Mercedes-Benz C-class.

So if they are planning on changing the engine in 2 years, would it even be smart to buy the outgoing 3.7 engine?
This really confuses me on what they are doing here, unless they plan to keep the 3.7 hybrid, the non hybrid 3.7, and just add the turbo MB engine as an additional option?

Infiniti will expand the powertrain options on its highest volume sedan to include a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and a clean diesel for Europe.
Hope this helps.

Why's everyone jumping to conclusions too soon? Did they anywhere mention that a TT 3L was NOT an option?

both powertrains 3.7L NA and 3.5L hybrid with come in RWD and AWD.
expect the hybrid to be a beast its like having instant torque which the VQ37 needed in the low range.
Weight of the Hyrbid RWD I am guessing will be in the high 3800lbs with the battery weight right behind above the Rear Wheels making it very balanced.
