Does Lexus Self-Driving Stack Up to Tesla and GM? Self-Driving Showdown!

I take a closer look at the best self-driving technology Lexus offers in my 2023 Lexus NX350H. We'll dive deep into the nitty-gritty details of the system, examining its adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, automatic lane change assist, and much more.

I also compare its performance to the industry-standard Tesla autopilot system and General Motors Super Cruise system. We'll examine how the Lexus system handles real-world driving scenarios, from stop-and-go traffic to high-speed highway driving in both clear and rainy weather conditions to see which autonomous system takes the crown.

I have the 20 NX and it has the adaptive cruise control with lane keep (not as advanced as 23, but still great) - I love it! It’s the perfect road trip car. Been on multiple road trips with it and it’s an amazing feature. Makes road trips a lot less stressful and a lot more enjoyable!

The quality of the automated control systems, especially in traffic jam situations, will become a bigger and bigger factor for people in making their car buying decision. If you did a video series comparing all the major brands’ systems and rating them using some standardized method, I think you’d get a ton of views. Thanks again and will subscribe!

Today I tried the adaptive cruise control on my drive between Toronto and Hamilton. Awesome system, worked really well!!

I got a tx350 a week ago for the wife and coming from a 2021 rx350 the driver assist system is so much better. The self driving and traffic jam assist is incredible.

Nice to see it work well in the rain ☔

The lane change assist did not work (unavailable) when you were driving in the left lane because the car in the center lane was too close for the Lexus to move over safely. Note when you passed that vehicle then the lane change feature worked. I have a '23NX and find the self driving assist feature is miles ahead of the system I had in my 2018 Honda Accord Touring, although that one was fairly good at the time. The Lexus system keeps better lane and distance control and I've driven 10 miles at a time just touching the steering wheel when prompted.

I wouldn't call adaptive cruise control "Self-Driving" unless it can do everything a human driver can. But the Lexus adaptive cruise control is much better than so many others I've driven. I tried the subaru one a while back when I was on a 7 hour road trip and it was horrible. The lane keep function was on but it kept bouncing me left and right inside my lane and it was a disaster.

According to one note, the video is Lexus System 3.0. Toyota Sense 3.0 apparently doesn't have lane change assist. Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is apparently on 2023 Corolla, 2024 Crown, Grand Highlander, Cruiser, Tacoma.

Great vid! Question: which system is your favorite for freeway driving? FSD, supercruise, bmw Highway Assistant? Thanks!

[jimreilly]

ok, so land change assist can get you into another lane if there is space. What happens if there is no opening? Does it give you a warning?

[murzaidis]

Thanks for the review it was super helpful and good to see that it was being used on local Toronto streets

[lthdean]

Does the 2020 NX and LX have this ??? and if not when did it come into being. ??

[mezhnun]

This is what I was wondering about Lexus cars. Thanks a ton. A question: Can the need for wiggling the wheel be also compensated by clicking the buttons on the wheel, like on tesla?

[nowah]

The warning sign is short because it isnt “self drive” feature to begin with. It is a active assist for the driver, so u’re not supposed to put ur handa off of it

[guidedmeditation]

Ultimately it will be the Death Tolls that decide which system is best. There needs to be a website with current numbers with an odometer for each system from every manufacturer.

[SDeShawnWatson]

Self drive is the incorrect term and is misleading. The misuse of that term leds to people trying to use the systems in a way in which they are not designed.

[ibz.a]

Thank you for doing this type of video, not a lot of car journalists include this type of review for these assistant systems. It would have been great if you also clarified difference between DRCC/ACC vs Lexus traffic jam assist (hands free under 40kph)

[therealinterlaced]

Lexus and GM Supercruise are BOTH level 2 semi-automomous driving features. They aren't capable of full self driving just for those to know. The super cruise has eye tracking which always monitors to make sure you are paying attention while driving. This feature is great my opinion rather than getting prompted to touch the wheel to ensure you're there.

[elvishenry]

Please produce a video on the intuitive parking feature

[sansin]

Is the semi-autonomous feature included in the luxury package?
And do you get software updates as they improve the semi-autonomous feature?
