Toyota unveils self-driving car

Toyota Tuesday unveiled a car that can drive itself along a highway, the latest foray by a major manufacturer into the world of automated vehicles.

The car, a modified Lexus GS, uses sophisticated sensors to navigate roads, merge lanes and overtake other vehicles.

The company hopes to make other cars with similar features available within five years, in time for Tokyo's hosting of the Olympics.

"We aim to be operational by 2020, the year when Tokyo welcomes the Olympic Games," Yoshida Moritaka, Toyota's chief safety technology officer, told reporters at the car's unveiling.
