Each 86 comes with Toyota Safety Sense (TSS-P) - a suite of advanced safety features which include: Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Automatic High Beams, Pre-*Collision System with Pedestrian Detection function and Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist - at no additional cost.

I'm pretty sure the 2019's don't have them. If they did, I would have waited till this year instead of buying my 86 in 2018. More safety gear the better.
You want that stuff on an FR-S/86? It has a very good chassis structure, great visibility, and with an attentive and competent driver all the safety needed is in the car. Those 'drivers aids' are baby steps to autonomous driving vehicles that take control from a driver...It's bad enough the traction control hard cuts engine power then gradually feeds it back in when you are turning from a stop under hard excelleration (which is why mine is 'off' %100 of the time...). Funny I have ZERO issues with accelerating with it 'off' yet with it on the car sometimes cuts power for a second then slowly feeds it back in...

Not like it's a Camaro which needs all the help it can get since you can't see well out of it...
