- The 2014 Lexus LS offers a pedestrian-detection system with automatic braking. Toyota says it can come to a complete stop at speeds up to 24 mph. Toyota's demo at the Consumer Reports track was done at 10, 20 and 25 mph. Read more about the demo: bit.ly/1pfoUHW

It's easy to tell from the last part of the video that the sensor is located at the middle of the grille. When the pedestrian creeped out from the right side, when the Lexus was at a speed of 25 mph, the sensor detected it at last second, which was too late. There should be a sensor and a camera on the side bumper to also detect pedestrians and cars at a stop sign, when the driver's view is blocked by a large object or vehicle on the side of the road.
Would be annoying your car slamming on the brakes everytime someone gets near the side of it especially for places like Manhattan where it happens all the time
@@saifuddeenacostaoh yeah it in downtown Toronto 🇨🇦
Well If that stupid drunk pedestrian didn't understand the first 3 times, at least he understood the 4th
Props to Toyota for doing a public test like that.
Cool tech and a very cool test
The one where the ped was hit the SpongeBob guy saying my leg my LEG!
Since I don't know any place in my area where cars drive slower than 25 mph (or 30 mph for that matter), this may not be a practical application yet. Nevertheless, it's nice Toyota is working on it.
Think about it a little more, com'on, you can do it...Pedestrian Detection...it's for parking lots and slow downtown type areas. Not for speeding down main thoroughfares.
Pube83 Really, is that what Toyota advertises it as? Parking lots? Up to 25 mph? Where do you live?
School zones, when picking up or dropping off children. I think this would greatly reduce the number of children hit by vehicles.

Where do you live where people are darting into traffic at 40mph?
Pube83 Suburbs. Most streets around here are 35-45 mph.
Looks like Lexus has some work to do yet! :)
I wonder how well the new pedestrian avoidance system on the 2014 Mercedes Benz would do in this test? People should still keep their eyes focused on the road in spite of these self breaking systems. The "I thought my car's self breaking system would stop the car" excuse to the police will not get you out of a ticket.
Not as impressive as I thought it would be. Try that same thing in snow or even wet... the system detects pedestrian too late, how do you expect me to text and drive if I can't rely on the car to drive for me?
They should have had the pedestrian crossing the street while texting and the driver doing the same. They probably don't want people to get the bad ideas they already have.
It might be good as they work on it more, at this time it's waste of money because we worry about hitting someone going faster then 20 mph
This is too funny.
I'll make sure to keep driving at 50
lol... I wanna see that test!
still not a substitute for stupid drivers. still won't guarantee the safety of stupid peds.
Who else freaked out when his leg fell off?
Auto indutry must implement this technology into all vehicles. Only 1 reason, there are too may really stupid people out there waling aruond at night and wear head to toe in black colored clothing.
For a pricy ass luxury car, the pedestrian-detection system sucks... as well as the brakes.
