Default LS460 Safety Features Reveal (28th Feb)

We're less then 24 hours away from the reveal of the safety features that will be offered by the LS460. This is BIG, maybe we'll know about the "special" new headlight illumination system, and the "special" new rain sensing wiper system. What else should we expect, Lane keeping Assistant, stop and go traffic cruise control (like the one offered in the Crown Majesta), also I remember reading that Lexus was working on a camera that scans/detects the drivers' eye movment and warns the driver if he is not focusing on the road ahead of him. Well, im just naming a few, ofcourse there is pedestrian safety too.
Lexus set my expectation very high with the LS460, auto parking system, 8 speed transmition... Alota "wolrds' first" features.

How about airbags on the outside of a car in case a pedestrian/bike/dog jumps in front of the car?

i hope they will not offer line assist/warning system, I have to hear an good word about them yet.

But you will get super-duper radar cruise control, parking cameras front, back and sides, self parking system, special AFS where both lights move, 14 airbags, super duper VDIM....

Did I miss something?

Yea, a tiny airbag for the toes... (im thinking where else could they add airbags)

oh and for the pedestrian safety, maybe they could add an external microphone that screams "watch out!" as soon as it detects that a pedestrian colision is about to occur.

I heard if car jackers run up to your car, they don't call the police, they call the local thugs and for some crack, they shoot up the would be car-jackers.

Also, when you get in an accident, the car calls the A-team, who disposes of the car you hit, and any witnesses, therefore, you cannot be sued and you can claim to insurance it was a hit and run.

The LS will use a rare alloy called adamantium instead of steel.

The LS comes standard with a built in Force Field. For an extra $20,000, Jessica Alba does demonstrations for you.

LOL @ the admantium alloy.

There will definitely be pedestrian safety as the Lexus Geneva announcement at Lexus-europe.com mentions it.
