Toyota is tinkering with ways to make it easier to follow another vehicle to a common destination. The company just showed its hitchless towing concept that, in theory, would allow someone to “tow” another vehicle or several vehicles behind a lead car without needing a physical connection to them.
Toyota engineers express doubts about full self-driving technology during an event highlighting its own technology, including a trailer that follows the “tow” vehicle autonomous instead of being physically connected by a hitch. Get details at TheDetroitBureau.com.

Three days ago, Toyota debuted its Advanced Drive autonomous driving tech in Japan, and the first vehicles to receive it are the 2022 Lexus LS and Toyota Mirai FCEV. Our report stated Advanced Drive is arriving in all U.S.-bound Lexus LS models – particularly the LS 500h hybrid – very soon, but we weren’t expecting it to come this soon.
In an official press release, the 2022 Lexus LS 500h hybrid AWD will get the all-new Lexus Teammate ADAS technology. However, Lexus Teammate will also come with Toyota’s Advanced Drive and Advanced Park, effectively making the LS hybrid the first Lexus vehicle in America to come standard with features similar to Tesla Autopilot and Cadillac Super Cruise.

Toyota showed off a new advanced driver assist system for the Mirai and Lexus LS in Japan on Thursday this week. At that time, there were details, but no indication of whether the system would make it to U.S.-bound Toyota and Lexus products. We have answers today.
This Level 2 driver assistance system will be deployed in the U.S. in the 2022 Lexus LS 500h when it launches later this year. Lexus is naming it “Lexus Teammate,” making it obvious from the start that this is no fully autonomous vehicle. The system is your teammate; it’s not taking over, and instead the two of you work together.
