Awesome stuff. I really love all of the commercials Team One is doing for Lexus. I really think they will elevate the image and reputation of Lexus, especially with the significant work they are doing for the LS hybrid marketing.
Pretty cool vid...too bad MB didn't think about doing a commercial like that for their pre-safe system 5 years ago...Lexus has a great marketing department.
Mercedes never advertised that it had this kind of system on its cars a long time ago and it's a pity for them that they didn't really advertise the system because now the public thinks that it is a feature or system that only Lexus has.
I thought MB did have an ad.. or is it a car show that I saw. I remember someone showing it (just braking hard obviously) and the moonroof and window closed.... or am I just dreaming? haha

except Mercedes couldn't show that ad until the new Sclass, since pre-safe couldn't detect other cars 5yrs ago.

That's where you are wrong, MB had it on the previous generation S-class which was definately around 5 years ago and it could detect other cars using high frequency radar.
Here is a Top Gear video with Jeremy Clarkson talking about the previous generation S-class and its' Pre-Safe system, this video is around 4-6 years old: http://youtube.com/watch?v=HmkX9mtF9zI

you do realize those videos do not mention a radar based pre-collision sensor. prior to the new S class presafe was 100% dependant on driver inputs for activation.
