In many ways, the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) presentation of a Lexus 500h with automated driving modifications was symbolic of desired positioning of the vehicle itself. To be sure, its dedicated space was singularly carved out at the rear of the massive Lexus main show floor presence. At the same time, simply another part of the greater product line, perceptually matter-of-fact. [1,2] Dubbed the “P4” in recognition of its place as fourth-generation platform ....
