Toyota demos concept car with more autonomous-driving features

Tokyo

TOUCH a button on the steering wheel and put your hands up - this Toyota will take it from here.

That's the gist of the experience Toyota Motor Corp offered to reporters on Tuesday in Tokyo. Its "highway teammate" concept car, a modified Lexus GS sedan, pulled off automated feats including entering public expressways, switching lanes and steering to the off ramp, all while picking spots to speed up or slow down based on the surrounding traffic.
