Toyota has developed for its future models of new safety systems to help avoid accidents when parking due to inattention or driver error.
One of the novelties - a system of Intelligent Clearance Sonar - defines the objects that are out of sight of the driver when parking. When approaching a dangerous object, it will include a warning and reduce engine power. This is to avoid serious damage to the vehicle if the driver presses the pedal and the mix up on the gas instead of the brake. With the risk of a collision, the system automatically applies the brakes.
The second system - Drive-Start Control - to avoid an accident, if the driver makes a mistake with the choice of transfer to parking. In this case also, the beep sounds and reduced engine power.
In addition, the Toyota refined the system to prevent a frontal collision Pre-Crash Safety (PCS), which receives data from a special radar operating in the millimeter range. The system monitors the area in front of the car and in the case of the object that might clash, sends a signal to the driver. When he presses the brake, PCS will automatically increase the effort in half. If the driver takes no action, the system automatically slows the car.
Earlier, the Japanese manufacturer has also introduced a system that keeps track of the cardiovascular system driver. Its transmitter is located on the steering wheel. New product is expected to help prevent an accident occurring due to a heart attack or unconsciousness driver. Now the company still modify the system.
