Japanese car makers continue to keep us in work here at CNET car tech. Just when you thought that today's models had as much gadgetry onboard as possible, along comes Infiniti with its 2008 EX35, a model that introduces two brand new car technology features. The EX35 is the first production car to come with Around View Monitor, a camera-based parking aid that gives drivers a top-down surround view of the car and any obstacles in its vicinity. It is also the first car in the United States to come with a nonemergency active safety feature in the form of its Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) system, which builds on the Lane Depature Warning (LDW) of earlier Infiniti models by using a combination of cameras and ABS inputs to keep drivers in their lane on the freeway. The EX35 also comes with a barrage of entertainment tech and a paint job that apparently heals itself from scratches. Oh, and it packs some pretty peppy performance credentials, too. Check out our photos of the crossover space-age tech mobile here.
Lane change detection and blind spot obstacle detection will be on a host of vehicles for the 2008 model year, and oh by the way...American cars too.
GET OFF YOUR JAPANESE CAR BIAS it is totally unjustified!
1. No, we don't get paid by the Japanese auto makers.
2. Infiniti did not "put a camera on the top instead of the middle of the back". If you read the article, you'll see that they use four cameras to create a panoramic view around the car, which is displayed on the in-dash monitor.
3. Again, a quick glance at the details of the blog or the slide show provides details on how the EX35 will come with a Lane Departure Prevention system that combines lane-departure detection cameras with ABS inputs to bring the car back into its lane when it drifts. I'm pretty sure that this is not available in any American cars produced to date.
Thanks for reading CNET.

(4 Comments)The RDX and X3 have around 36-38.
The G35 sedan itself has around 34, and it is absolutely cramped!
Why would they cut it even further on a crossover?
