Lexus Teammate is an advanced driver-assistance technology designed to work alongside the driver rather than replace them. Originally introduced on the Lexus LS 500h AWD, the technology combines sophisticated highway-driving and parking assistance. Fields Lexus of Glenview explains how Lexus Teammate works and what drivers should know about its availability.
How Lexus Teammate Works
Lexus Teammate combines two driver-assistance technologies: Advanced Drive and Advanced Park. Advanced Drive supports SAE Level 2 highway driving and, under certain conditions, can provide hands-free assistance while the driver continues watching the road. The system can automatically control steering, acceleration, and braking while maintaining following distance, and it can also assist with lane changes, merging, and overtaking slower vehicles.
Advanced Park assists with parking maneuvers using cameras and ultrasonic sensors to monitor the area around the vehicle. When activated, it can automatically control steering, acceleration, braking, and gear changes while assisting with parallel parking or backing into a parking space. The driver remains responsible for monitoring the maneuver and surrounding environment.
Advanced Drive uses an array of cameras, radar, LiDAR, and other sensors to monitor the vehicle and its surroundings. It also integrates with the vehicle’s navigation and HD-map localization technology, allowing the system to plan driving actions approximately six miles ahead along a programmed route.
Which Lexus Models Have Offered Lexus Teammate?
Lexus Teammate debuted in the U.S. on the 2022 Lexus LS 500h AWD, combining Advanced Drive and Advanced Park in the flagship hybrid sedan. Availability has varied by model year, and the current Lexus lineup may offer Advanced Park independently of the complete Lexus Teammate suite. Because driver-assistance equipment can change between model years and configurations, check with Fields Lexus of Glenview to confirm the technology included on a specific vehicle.
