Lexus Teammate with Advanced Drive was the only autonomous system that got an Acceptable rating from the IIHS. Two others that were tested got a Marginal rating while the rest got a Poor rating.

 

I think Teammate is more advanced system that is geared towards fully autonomous driving, while NX has more of a advanced safety system that does little correcting and avoiding than just driving on its own. At least that is what it looks like to me

 

From your link, it looks like they tested two Lexus systems, both on the 2022-2024 LS:

1. Lexus Teammate with Advanced Drive (rating: Acceptable)
2. Lexus Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Lane Tracing Assist (rating: Poor)

I think that the NX has the latter system, which isn't surprising since that it's a cheaper vehicle than the LS. Perhaps the 3rd-generation NX models will have Teammate?

 

RX has that. Need the Driver camera for traffic jam assist which is part of Teammate. Maybe in the future?

 

interesting. I thought RX and NX had the same features with respect to autonomous driving.

 

The Teammate system requires LIDAR, which isn't available on the NX.

 

Here's a link to Lexus safety systems for 2024 from it's Canadian site https://www.lexus.ca/lexus/en/know-y...s/lexus-safety Near the bottom you can select a model to show what features they have.
I went through this and nothing is mentioned about their Driver Monitor Camera which I know is used on the RX. Looks like it is only available in higher optioned models. This is a system that monitors your face to make sure you're looking forward and paying attention. For whatever reason Lexus doesn't seem to mention it anywhere as a safety feature.

Finally found what they're talking about with Lexus Teammate I think it's only available presently in US and only on the LS hybrid. I may be wrong. Anyways here's a link from US Lexus, go down to middle of page and there's a link

Here's the IIHS link to this article: https://www.iihs.org/news/detail/fir...has-work-to-do

 

It's interesting that what most of the IIHS article complains about is that these systems don't make lousy drivers less lousy. LOL. So much of this emerging tech is struggling with that fact and, well, that is only going to happen when these systems are advanced enough where the driver is completely deleted. Doesn't make the driver less lousy, it just makes them not a driver. Problem finally solved.

Two things did surprise me about the ratings chart in the C&D article. Just how badly the Tesla FSD system scored. Its been so hyped for so many years, but again, they've struggled a lot with the lousy driver experience too. Also, I laughed at the "good" rating for the current Lexus Lane Change function (not the TeamMate one). Its the only driver aid feature in my NX that I had to turn off, its terrible. Maybe its safe, but perhaps excruciatingly too cautious. it takes absolutely ages to make lane change decisions. When I was using it, I'd be looking around thinking "what's it waiting for, sure there is a car about 30 car lengths back very slowly gaining on me, is it going to wait 5 minutes for that car to pass, yes, it seems so, sigh, I'll do it myself".

 

The chart is actually coming from IIHS.
