Lexus LC Hybrid DMI (Driver Mind Index)

Working in tandem with the simulated 10-speed automatic transmission, DMI selects the optimum gear based on the driving environment and accelerator and brake pedal operation, to quickly match gear selection with the driver’s intention. The first hybrid vehicle to feature M-mode, it enables the driver to directly select and hold any gear using the paddle shift switches, to provide quick shift response to match their intention, for a dynamic hybrid sports driving experience.
