    The IIHS just surveyed me on the DRCC, PCS, and LKA features on my Prius.

    I gave the system high marks, with the exception of sometimes the LKA does not work well in certain weather conditions, and on roads with faded lane markings.

    I did mention, and the surveyor wrote down, PriusChat is one of the resources I use to learn about the systems. :)

    DRCC = Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
    PCS = Pre-Collision System
    LKA = Lane Keep Assist

    I believe ATP (Advanced Technology Package)-equipped Prius in Australia lack LKA though.

    Thanks for that! I don't know if our ATP has LKA but I'll enquire.:)

    They did mail a card to me and asked me to mail it back if I do not want to be called.

    And for those of us who don't feel like looking it up, what's IIHS?
