Yeah, I won't say exactly where but far from Texas. It needed a new tire, I'm pretty sure she punctured it. She called in to say she had a secret car coming and and needed a tire and that she didn't want any attention. We all swarmed it when it got thereWas this close to the Texas Technical Center? Suprised Lexus would roll their prototypes into the dealership unless this was a training demo for service centers. Even then demos are held at central.
Yea i could understand why she was mean, not meant for the public, and probably a out of the way stop to get something parts wise?

New YorkIt's got Michigan plates, but I'm not sure if that's just where they source their US company vehicle plates from or not.
I think their self-driving people are in California, aren't they?
Alright, New York actually
I doubt we will see anything be offered in 2020 but probably more info at the least. Probably not until 2022-2023 will it be offered. They better do an AWD ES. And an LS F or LC F before that
If all of those are LiDAR sensors, it will be at least a 6 figure option.
But, if they manage a SAE Level 4 autonomy for 2020 as a MY2021, they should beat everyone.
At least they already managed to downsize it! Would love to see an opened trunk.
I assume this would be what they call the P5 (prototype 5)
Toyota has been very conservative in their autonomous execution/presentation. Lexus has been very quiet this year and since its the 25th anniversary, they don't even have any neat surprises except a short celebratory video/promo. Makes me think 2020 Olympics is when all the fireworks come out, and without another second to spare, they are really pushing it, especially with the enthusiast crowd. If there is no LS+, I'd be quite disappointed.
Here is the P4 5LS autonomous prototype.

I don't know, that P4 does look a little more sophisticated than this even. I would bet this is a P3 or maybe sleeker P4. But i gotta doubt it's a P5 after seeing that video. But thanks for the info!I assume this would be what they call the P5 (prototype 5)

A fifth-generation Lexus LS 500h outfitted with autonomous technology was spotted at a New York dealership. Photos have been posted on Reddit and the Lexus Enthusiast forums:
Lexus will release its first self-driving vehicle next year as part of a massive technology initiative by parent company Toyota, but there’s a one catch — the technology will only work for highway driving.
In all likelihood, the Lexus automated vehicle will debut at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, where Toyota is the title sponsor. It’s also expected that the...
