I KNOW EVERYONE WHAT ABOUT THE
GENERAL BUSINESS OPEN ABOUT
THAT INSTEAD OF A COMEBACK BUT
SHADOW AND ON
A SHOW THAT'S THE OPEN TO THE
PUBLIC ON FRIDAY, BUT HARMLESS
JULIE SMITH GOT A SNEAK PEEK AT
SOME OF THOSE SET TO SHOW UP
THERE NOW REAL HOT WHEELS IN LA
LA LAND EARLIER SHE SPOKE WITH
JEFF POPE IS THE HEAD OF THE
AMERICAS ALL AS THE COMPANY TO
CELEBRATE HIM. THE BIG 3, 0,
TAKE
A LOOK.
>> HEY GUYS I'M JOINED BY JEFF
POPE IS THE GROUP VICE
PRESIDENT AT INFINITY AMERICA'S
JEFF THANK YOU SEARCH FOR
HAVING ME HERE TODAY GREAT
THANK SO IT'S GREAT TO BE HERE.
WELL VERY EXCITING STUFF SO
INFINITI'S CELEBRATING THE
YEARS WHICH IS
REALLY EXCITING. AND NOW YOU
HAVE ADDITION 30 VEHICLES TO
CELEBRATE SO WHAT CAN WE EXPECT
FROM THOSE VEHICLES.
>> WELL THANK YOU SO MUCH
RECOGNIZING 30 YEARS AS A GREAT
ACCOMPLISHMENT
FOR US THE ADDITION 30 VEHICLES
ARE REALLY JUST AS YOU STATED
TO CELEBRATE OUR 30 YEARS IN
THE INDUSTRY. YOU STARTED AS A
COMPANY THAT WAS ABOUT.
>> FOLD AND BEING DARING AND
REALLY BEING.
>> CONSUMER-ORIENTED FIRST SO
THE CAR WAS IMPORTANT THAT THE
CONSUMERS JUST IMPORTANT AS THE
VEHICLE RIGHT WE WANT TO
CELEBRATE THAT.
>> AND DO SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR
OUR CUSTOMERS I THINK YOU'RE
WHERE MOST PEOPLE ARE THAT
INFINITY CREATED MULTIPLE
WORLDS FIRST TECHNOLOGIES
THAT'S PART OF THE PACKAGING IN
THESE
CARS TODAY.
>> WE'RE IN FRONT OF A 3 OF THE
NEW ADDITION 30'S. WHAT ARE
SOME OF THE TECHNOLOGY FEATURES
IN THESE CARS
RIGHT NOW.
>> YEAH, SO WHAT WE'VE DONE IS
ACTUALLY PACKAGE FOR FREE
INCLUDED IN THESE CARS INCLUDES
THINGS LIKE AROUND
YOU MONITOR THE BLIND SPOT
INTERVENTION A DISTANCE CONTROL
ASSIST AND INTELLIGENT CRUISE
CONTROL ALL PACKAGING THESE
VEHICLES AND OF COURSE THEY'RE
BEAUTIFUL
AS WELL.
>> THEY'RE VERY BEAUTIFUL, NOT
JEFF, WHAT ARE THE NEXT 30
YEARS LOOK LIKE ARE YOU GUYS
ALREADY THINKING
ABOUT IT.
>> WE'RE ABSOLUTELY THINKING
ABOUT A LESSON THAT'S WHAT GETS
ME MOST EXCITED ABOUT TALKING
ABOUT INFINITY ON A
REGULAR BASIS AND AS WE MOVE
FORWARD, IT'S REALLY ALL ABOUT
ELECTRIFICATION I THINK
EVERYBODY HAS TALKED
ABOUT ELECTRIFICATION THAT WE
HAVE A VERY SPECIFIC WAY THAT
WE'RE LOOKING AT. IN FACT WE
HAVE SOME CONCEPT VEHICLES OVER
HERE IF YOU WANT TO BUY.
>> LET'S GO BOSTON. YEAH YOU
READ MY MIND, OK SO LET'S TALK
ABOUT
THE ELECTOR OCCASION YOU GUYS
HAVE GOING ON THIS CAR IS
CORGIS THE Q S INSPIRATION,
THIS IS YOUR CONCEPT CAR THIS
YEAR TELL US
ABOUT IT.
>> YES SO WE'VE MADE A LOT OF
CONCEPT CARS OVER THE PAST AND
MOST OF THOSE HAVE BEEN FOR
DESIGN IMPLEMENTATION AND YOU
CAN SEE IN OUR CURRENT COURSE
THEY WOULD USE MANY OF THOSE
DESIGN ELEMENTS FROM THE
CONCEPT CARS, THESE CONCEPT CAR
SO EVER ARE MORE
PRODUCTION-READY AS YOU LOOK
FORWARD IN THE FUTURE. SO NOT
TO LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THIS.
BUT THE DISEASE AND THE SIZE
THE ELEMENTS ARE GOING TO BE
VERY SIMILAR WHAT WE'RE LOOKING
AT WE'RE LAUNCHING
5 NEW CARS, THE NEXT 3 YEARS 2
OF THOSE WILL BE NO
WELL GAS ENGINES BUT THE ONES
AFTER THAT WILL BE ELECTRIFIED
RIGHT. WHAT IS ELECTRIFICATION
INTO US. THAT MEANS ELECTION
MEANS EVIE JUST LIKE IT DOES
WITH EVERY OTHER AND WE WILL
HAVE THOSE BUT WE ALSO HAVE
SOMETHING THAT SUGGESTION
RATED TV WHEN YOU LOOK AT QS
INSPIRATION THIS CARD SOUTH
WOULD BE BASED ON
THAT PLATFORM. SO WHAT DOES
THAT MEAN THAT VERY SIMPLY
MEANS THAT WHAT YOU GET AN
ELECTRIFIED PLATFORM IS POWER
PERFORMANCE AND
IT'S WONDERFUL RIGHT BUT YOU
DON'T ALWAYS GET HIS RANGE BY
HAVING A SMALL GAS ENGINE.
THE CURRENT CASH VERY EASY THAT
CHARGES
THE BATTERY. WE NOW CAN GIVE
YOU ALL THAT PERFORMANCE WITH A
PURELY ELECTRIFIED PLATFORM,
BUT I GIVE YOU MUCH GREATER
RANGE AND I THINK THAT'S WE'RE
GOING TO SEPARATE OURSELVES AND
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BIGGEST
ROADBLOCKS MAY BE STANDING IN
THE WAY UP AND ALL OF MY
TEACHERS I THINK IT'S JUST THE
ACCEPTANCE AND OVERALL OF THE
INDUSTRY SO THERE'S A LOT A LOT
OF PRODUCTS COMING
TO MARKET ROUGHLY AT THE SAME
TIME THIS IS GOING TO BE
INTERESTING TO SEE HOW
QUICKLY THE CONSUMERS WILL
INTERACT WITH THOSE VEHICLES
MEANING THERE'S PLENTY OF
PEOPLE THAT ARE VERY INTERESTED
IN
THE TECHNOLOGY. BUT WHEN EVERY
MANUFACTURER IS BRINGING ALL
THESE DIFFERENT MOVIES TO
MARKET THE SAME TIME IS THERE
GOING TO BE ENOUGH TO MAN AND I
THINK THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE
GOING TO FIND OUT THE NEXT 2 TO
3 YEARS AGO.
>> RIGHT AND WHAT ROLE DO YOU
REALLY SEE INFINITY PLAYING IN
THAT ELECTORATE FUTURE.
>> WELL THAT'S WHERE I THINK
WHEN YOU GET BACK TO GAS
GENERATE EVIE WEEK AND A
SEPARATE OURSELVES OUT OF THE
PACK A LITTLE BIT
THEY WERE ABLE TO GIVE YOU
PERFORMANCE AND RANGE ALONG
WITH OPTION DUE TO FULL DESIGN.
>> BUTTE
GORGEOUS DESIGN. I LOVE IT ALL
SO I CAN SEE LIKE A TV
BASICALLY IN ON THE DASHBOARD
WHICH JOSH KAUL DASHBOARDS ARE
GOING TO BE PRETTY MUCH DIGITAL
BY THAT TIME AND THEY'RE GOING
TO BE ALMOST THE ENTIRE LENGTH
OF THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD THAT
ARE GOING TO HAVE
SCREENS ON SO WHAT WE SEE A CAR
LIKE THIS ACTUALLY ON THE ROAD
YOU WOULD SEE IT IN THE NEXT 3
YEARS
FOR US.
>> I'M REALLY COOL AND AND
SPECIFICALLY DISAPPOINT OUT A
LITTLE BIT TO THIS IS A SEDAN
BUT THIS IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT
THAN YOU NORMALLY SEE US AND
IT'S A LITTLE BIT BIGGER.
YES, IT'S A LITTLE BIT HIGHER.
IT'S REALLY A NEW
INTERPRETATION OF THE SEDAN
RAIN IS ALMOST AS A LITTLE
HATCHBACK KIND. YES, IT DOES
BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS YOU GET
BATTERY PACKS TO GET UNDERNEATH
THE VEHICLE, SO IT LIFTS THE
CAR A
LITTLE BIT. BUT THE BENEFITS
YOU HAVE TO THESE PLATFORMS IN
THE INTERIOR AS WELL AS YOU
HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL
ALL THIS AND YOU HAVE MORE
SPACE YOU CAN HAVE FLAT FLOORS
YOU CAN HAVE A LOT OF DESIGN
ELEMENTS THAT YOU COULDN'T HAVE
A NORMAL VEHICLES RIGHT NOW,
I'M
OPENING UP.
>> CONVERSATION A LITTLE BIT
I'M ASKING EVERYONE STAND NOW
PRESIDENTS TRUMP OVERALL IMPACT
ON THE AUTO INDUSTRY. DO YOU
THINK THE
IMPACTED NEGATIVELY.
>> THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE
ALWAYS HAVE TO TRACK CLOSELY WE
DON'T GET VERY HEAVILY INVOLVED
IN AND STANDING AND CHANGING
DIRECTION OF WHERE WE'RE GOING
RIGHT NOW THAT AS WE SEE THE
NEED FOR THE VISA ELECTRIFIED
AT ELECTRIFICATION THE FUTURE
WE'RE GOING
TO CONTINUE DOWN THAT ROAD
ATTORNEY ON A MUST DRIVE YOU
NEED TO KEEP WORKING ON THOSE
TYPES OF TECHNOLOGIES BUT FOR
US WHAT IT ON A STRIKE MEANS
IS REALLY MORE ABOUT DRIVER
ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY IS HELPING
THEM BE AS THEY DRIVE THEIR
CARS AND BE ABLE TO INTERACT
WITH THEIR CARS. SO ALTHOUGH
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO US IT'S
SOMETHING THAT WE JUST WATCHED
CLOSELY AND WILL ADAPT
IS NECESSARY.
>> I WANT TO GET YOUR TAKE
REALLY QUICKLY FOR LET YOU GO
ON THAT SOPHIE
OUT MERGER. DO YOU THINK THIS
IS GOING TO PRESSURE OTHER CAR
COMPANIES TO WATCH URGED IN THE
SPACE AND WILL IT IMPACT YOU
GUYS AT ALL WHEN I LOOK AT
IMPACTING US. I DON'T THINK SO.
>> ONE OF THE LARGEST ALLIANCES
IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW FROM AN
AUTOMATED
FASHION PERSPECTIVE. AND I
THINK IT'S NECESSARY AT TIMES
FOR THESE COMPANIES TO LOOK FOR
OPPORTUNITIES TO PARTNER WITH
OTHERS BECAUSE OF THE RANGE
COSTS COSTS CONTINUE TO GO UP
IN THE INDUSTRY WHICH MAKES A
VERY DIFFICULT SCENE NEED TO
LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO
SHARE PLATFORMS. SHARE ENGINES
SHARE DRIVE TRAINS AND ANYTHING
THAT YOU CAN DO LIKE THAT TO BE
ABLE TO SHARE TECHNOLOGIES AND
INTELLIGENCE ACROSS THE
INDUSTRY. I THINK IT MAKES
SENSE SO I DO SEE THIS
CONTINUING IN
THE FUTURE.
