Toyota's Commitment to Safety: An Overview of Their Safety Features

Toyota’s commitment to safety is a long-standing tradition. Toyota takes great pride in incorporating cutting-edge safety features in its vehicles. Toyota's safety features are designed to protect those who drive and others around by providing warnings and taking precautions.

 

PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM

Toyota’s pre-collision system is part of Toyota safety sense and consists of a system designed to reduce collisions with the person or vehicle in front of you. It comes with a camera that’s integrated into the system to minimize collisions.

 

TSS-P

 

TSS-P is the pre-collision system to detect pedestrians. It helps to get the car in control with the emergency brake in case a person suddenly emerges in front of the car. 

 

TSS 2.0

 

TSS 2.0 is a system that comes with daytime low light detection, and pedestrian and bicycle detection. It works in normal and low-light situations.

 

TSS 2.5+ & TSS 3.0

 

TSS 2.5+ & TSS 3.0 includes pedestrian detection, low light, daytime, bicycle detection, intersection support, and emergency steering. This is the most advanced of the systems that combine all systems along with a steering assist, which helps keep the car in the right lane and also maneuver it in emergency situations, all while avoiding collisions. 

 

Intersection collision avoidance is designed to avoid collision with another vehicle. This feature is designed to avoid low-speed collisions and prevent your vehicle from rear-ending another. It can also help detect motorcycles.

 

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control

Most Toyota cars in Midland come fitted with a windshield camera that’s connected to your cruise control settings. What this essentially does is it helps maintain distance between you and the vehicle in front of you by adjusting the speed of your vehicle in case you get too close to another.

Lane Departure Alert

 

This helps you to get back into your lane if you accidentally drift away. 

 

Road Sign Assist

 

This is a smart feature that helps your car detect closed roads, stop signs, and not enter warnings.  

 

Lane Tracing Assist

 

This feature basically traces the outline of the car in front of you to help centre your vehicle in the lane. 

 

Automatic High Beams

 

The high beams are designed to assist nighttime drivers by detecting the headlights and tail lights of other vehicles. It also helps to switch on your car high and low beams to notify other vehicles accordingly.

Toyota’s Future in Safety: What to Expect from Their Future Vehicles 

 

Toyota’s aim is to reduce the number of incidents on the road and make everyone safer with initiatives like Toyota Safety Connect. They want their cars to be able to react faster than humans and sense things that humans may not be able to sense or react to in time. This makes Toyota clearly focused on safety and cutting-edge technology. Toyota also plans to use artificial intelligence and big data to predict accidents and improve safety features on vehicles.
