Lexus advances autonomous driving technology with Lane Valet
01 Apr 2017|3,000 views
Lexus has announced its commitment to the development of a new technology feature for all models - the Lane Valet. This advanced system will improve traffic flow by assisting the movement of slower moving vehicles from the left lane into the more appropriate right lane, which, in turn, helps make the highway safe and more enjoyable for all parties.
This new semi-autonomous system will help Lexus drivers to communicate temporarily with the slower vehicle and do the driver the courtesy of safely moving their vehicle for them. With just the touch of a button located on the front dash, Lane Valet will activate. The Lexus vehicle's radar and camera systems will scan the road to ensure safe operation while vehicle-to-vehicle technology communicates with the misplaced driver's vehicle.
Once connected, Lane Valet will initiate a careful but prompt lane change. The slow driver's right turn signal will illuminate as the system confirms the adjacent lane is clear of other vehicles or obstructions. The Lane Valet will then carefully deposit the unhurried driver into the right lane before disengaging, thus allowing others in the lane to continue moving at their previous pace. The Lexus Lane Valet will be rolled out as an optional feature in all models on 1st April 2017 in the U.S.A.
