Lexus, this is a good commercial. The LC one is not.

TBH I feel like they mocked the future of driving cars because the IS didn't have as many self-driving features and safety features as it's competition.

This is what Lexus should have used for the Super Bowl... not the Sia music video.

Maybe they should've but definitely still with the LC not IS

This is especially great as a Lexus Canada commercial since it's kind of a sideways swipe of Rush's thematically similar 1981 classic "Red Barchetta".

This is a masterpiece!

2 weeks late Lexus Canada. Fiat Israel was first.

Woah, this is some deep Canadiana. Geddy Lee is a local boy!

The commercial sums up nicely my long-time "fear" as a driving enthusiast. Enjoy it while it lasts! I am.

The point of the ad (and it is a valid one) is that a lot of drivers don't want, and WON'T want, self-driving features.

Agreed. Can you just imagine (healthy and uninjured) NFL players running around in self-driving cars LOL? They'd get laughed right off the street.

I was driving around the downtown Toronto area and I noticed a billboard advertisement for the new IS that read:
AUTONOMY NOT AUTONOMOUS
Whatever that means...

Full-scale autonomous roads are impossible. How would motorsports exist?

Autonomy with regards to mobility, compared to public transport or ride sharing.
