The lady jogger looked good too!
Love this commercial and the new gal (voice) is growing on me though I still like the old-school voice from the nineties.
Onto a strange observation... I'm hoping this is a simulation/commercial editing error and not the actual display. Notice the HUD's person location and steering direction? If the driver reacts in that way, he'd have killed her.

The car must have been 2 inches away from hitting her. My passenger and myself both were in shock. I mean he could have killed her. Which brings me to the point of all this pre-collision stuff. If he has it and the pre-collision kicks in what happens if there is a car next to him? Does the car decide to hit a car before a person?
At least in the LS, the system will actively steer around the pedestrian as long as there is room within the lane. It will not break any lines (I believe even if there is no car in the other lanes).

Unless you're driving a tank in Tiananmen Square....On another related feature the LS500 hood has emergency raising staunchions to mitigate injury to a pedestrian. The LC has the same feature. The available Safety System Plus A uses a stereo camera setup and the front cross traffic alert adds Doppler radar sensing for seeing tangential traffic and giving you a heads up alert.I just narrowly missed a pedestrian who was blocked by a electric scooter today. Having such a system could be very helpful... Oh wait, in China the car might just be stuck forever due to all these bikes, scooters, and pedestrians crossing at will. One thing I genuinely dread of driving in a developing country is the general lack of safety awareness. Plus the law is explicitly pro-pedestrian (it is ALWAYS the driver's fault even if the pedestrian is trying to commit suicide).
That VO is *way* too wordy. She can barely get out of her own way talking through it.
Thought the same... "immersive richness," "handcrafted details," 23speakers, 24" heads up display, twin turbo, advanced Multi-Stage hybrid, LS 500, LS 500h... the commercial reads like a fact sheet.
