Recently a friend of mine picked up a RX350 under my recommendation for a good reliable and nice SUV for the family. When visiting I noticed a little camera facing forward behind the rear view mirror. Anyone have any idea what it is for? Looks like lane departure or maybe some radar cruise system? We had no idea and wondering if anyone here knows.

I wish I took a picture of it but I found one online in a review. You can kinda see the little camera square box behind the rear view mirror.

It is a device used to determine if there is oncoming traffic. It is part of the intelligent highbeam system.

It is a light sensor and predates the auto-headlight-dim. Makes sense if the engineers coupled it with auto-headlight.
