I believe that all IS's in Japan have this function.

In the european edition it's like that too.
Push the button and they flip in. easy when you park in a narrow street

And what do they call them in Europe? I suspect 'auto folding mirrors'.

I don't care how Lexus spins it, but 'auto folding' means they fold automatically on command, not if they are hit by outside force. That is lame. Why not just call them folding mirrors? Think Lexus is playing fast and loose with the wording.

Evitzee is dead on... in this day in age, auto means something is done on command.
