    My conclusion is that the only difference for Prius Two Eco is Li-ion, slightly lighter overall weight (lighter battery and no rear wiper), and a few more PSI put in the tires. Not worth buying unless you are considering Prius Two.

    Just FYI: Toyota Technical Review (Vol.62, special issue on Prius Gen. 4) came out finally.
    There is a Japanese edition and a parallel English edition.
    The contents should not be much different from the SAE papers.
    But since it is not expensive, I have asked a friend to help me get one from Japan, hoping to receive it in a month or two.;)

    Side sensors do not work for pedestrian detection. Evidently they are for parking assist and cross traffic alert. Maybe??????Mine says it has shutters.

    PD seems to work only in the front but still OPS testing.

    PD//Size of people behind you matters. Check it with a fat salesman and it may work. If not, who cares.
