I think I like driving too much to ever use this but still really sweet technology by Lexus.

If Toyota is doing this by 2020, so will everyone else soon enough.

We will trully live in very different world 5-6 years from now. While we will still likely mostly drive petrols or diesels or hybrids (depending on where we live), quite few of the new vehicles might have this auto mode for the highways at least.

This is probably first tech that will actually change how we drive our cars.

Great progress in terms of autonomous technology. I now see the reason why they chose GS for the project years ago as it was the first one with 12.3 in screen. Also seeing the need to have bigger screen in near future.

Some publications had a chance to try out the Lexus GS equipped with new autonomous vehicle technology from Toyota.

Very cool technology, but not for me personally. I like to be in control of my vehicle. Not looking forward to this autonomous future.
