Lexus Australia is saying that the NX is first in line for Rear Cross Traffic Alert in Australia...

The NX SUV and RC coupe will be the first recipients when they launch later this year, while IS, GS, ES and LS models already equipped with blind sport monitoring will also receive RCTA by the end of 2014.

This is great news, I thought that maybe this would be something they have on their LS, a flagship, rather than mainstream models like these. Good move on their part.

I'm a bit surprised that it will be on the NX first, but I am glad and think it is a good move. Safety features should be democratized ASAP in the interest of public safety. If the NX gets it first, higher priced models should get it very soon after.

Yeah and we also have to keep in mind that these are some of the brands vehicles projected to get a ton of volume, then there's it's type of buyer, those alone are good reason to debuting this tech on the two of them.
