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.

As I discovered in the 2021 Escalade, however, it has a few other new tricks up its sleeve too.
