New Safety Suite

Lexus has announced a full suite of new safety features that will debut with the new LS — called Lexus Safety System + A, the new technologies will add a degree of semi-autonomous driving assistance to the flagship sedan.

This list of the newly comprised features is enormous, consisting of Pedestrian Alert, Active Steering Assist, Lexus Co-Drive, a Two-Stage Adaptive High-beam System, Intelligence Clearance Sonar, Rear Cross Traffic Auto Brake, Front Cross Traffic Alert, Road Sign Assist, Parking Support Brakes, and an improved Panoramic View Monitor.

More often than not, its evident through context clues exactly what the features purpose is. Pedestrian Alert is coupled with Active Steering Assist in order to detect and avoid wayward pedestrians. The system can identify the walking direction of a pedestrian and can prevent a collision by first alerting you if a pedestrian will be crossing your path, and then subsequently braking and diverting if a collision becomes is imminent.

Lexus Co-Drive groups Lane Tracing Assist, Lane Change Assist and Driver Emergency Stop Assist together in order to keep you in your lane or alternatively keep you on a safe path if lane markings are vague.

Semi-Autonomous features are made possible with a slew of radar, cameras, and various first world technologies. As we continue to progress and grow as a planet, more intelligent modes of transportation are becoming more and more necessary. Employing these safety features could save you from an accident and could even save a life someday.

All of these features will be debuting with the release of the new LS. Receive updates or check out our inventory here at our site!
