where

whereというと疑問詞や関係詞の用法が想起されますが，忘れてはいけないのが接続詞の用法。その中で今回は「｟対照範囲などの副詞節を導いて｠…のに（対して）」という意味で用いられています（『プログレッシブ英和中辞典』小学館）。記事はThe New York Timesのcar reviewからの引用です。（Koyamamoto）

Feeling a Bit Obsolete in the Driver’s Seat

Infiniti’s G37 has long been the star of Nissan’s luxury brand, largely because it’s been a hands-on car. Now, girding for an autonomous future, Infiniti is trying hands-off instead.
… But where the G37 had typically been described as the next best thing to the BMW 3 Series, the Q50 seems not only to have switched from a well-regarded name, but also from a driver-first approach. And a driver-second description could be taken literally: Even as Nissan pledges to bring a fully autonomous car to showrooms by 2020, I found myself driving the Infiniti on surprisingly long highway stretches without touching the accelerator, brake pedal or steering wheel.
