Next-Gen Toyota Pre-Crash, Pedestrian-Detection Systems to Debut on 2016 Lexus RX – News – Car and Driver | Car and Driver Blog
Did you already think of Toyota as being warm and fuzzy, a family friendly everyman brand? Get ready to fluff that fuzz and crank up the heat, because starting next year, Toyota and Lexus will offer more comprehensive safety packages with the automaker’s latest advances, including pedestrian detection with full auto-braking. The company will eventually trickle this tech into nearly every car it sells by 2017. We don’t know what Toyota will get upgraded first, but we can confirm that the 2016 Lexus RX, the luxury brand’s bestselling model in the U.S., will be the first Lexus armed with this new safety package.
