    My brother just bought that same corvette about six months ago. I bought my new Prius Plug in with in weeks of his purchase. Mine isn't yellow, though.

    The TSS 3.0 in the 2025+ Camry is not too bad. Much better than my Gen 4 Prius.

    Well. IMHO the effed up the current Prius with its hideous design and price point. I am much happier with my HyCam XLE.I needed to move on from the Prius due to en encounter with a 4Runner.

    TSS 4.0 is only Level 2. It is not much different than TSS 2.0 and TSS 3.0. For example, TSS 2.0 does not work on steep curves. TSS 3.0 is improved, and TSS 4.0 is further improved, but there will still be a limit on the road’s radius of curvature and, combined with that, the car's speed. Also, if there are no lane markings, it does not work.

    Gen 4 Prius originally had TSS-P for the 2016–2020 model years, which lacked lane-tracing assist (LTA), and was later updated to TSS 2.0 for the 2021 and 2022 model years, which brought LTA.

    TSS 3 can have Traffic Jam Assist which provides hands free driving at low speeds. Since it requires working navigation, it might only work on certain roads. Which also means it is subscription based in the US. Cars with it have driver monitoring cameras on the steering wheel column. The Prius Prime/PHV is the only model I know that has it.

    If it is based on their navigation database it will be JUNK. It throws in random speed limits, usually lower than actual. The road sign recognition has the navigation at a higher priority. I just got used to red speed limit display until my subscription expired. now the speed limit indication is much more sane. I DO wish it could use my CarPlay Apple Maps data though.

    Well, TJA only works below 25 mph on freeways, so the speed limit is moot.

    It didn’t even cross my mind until this nearly useless gimmick was brought up here. It is not clear how it differs from LTA other than having an auto-resume from a full stop function.
