From fiction to reality. The Lexus LC and LS are getting ready to receive an autonomous driving technology capable of interfering with the vehicle in front.
We've all been through this. We are very well traveling on the leftmost lane or on the central lane, when we come across a car in front of us, traveling in the “greatest of calms” at a slower speed than in the other lanes. This type of conductor can be called the "middle lane olives".Wouldn't it be great to have a button that could – as if by magic… – make the car in front move onto the rightmost lane? Apparently, this technology will be a reality, thanks to the work of Lexus engineers.
NOT TO BE MISSED: All the details of the Lexus IS 300h. Built by the Takumi, the artisans of the Japanese brand.
Lane Valet, as this technology was named, will allow you to get in contact with the car in front and force it to pass (autonomous and safely) to the far right lane, if justified. This technology depends on autonomous driving capabilities and will only be available in vehicles that can communicate with each other.
“Lane Valet was developed by the best engineers at Lexus, who understand the importance of safety and safe driving. The proper speed of a vehicle, without excessive braking, makes it possible to optimize consumption, traffic flow and reduce driver frustration. We are trying to give everyone the best possible driving experience.”
Brian Bolain, Managing Director of Lexus
Just press a button and the Lexus LC does the rest:
Autonomous driving technologies are getting more and more advanced, aren't they? Unfortunately, it's all just a Lexus departure for April Fools… ?
