To the media in Japan, Toyota has just done a demonstration of how the technology works intelligently. This technology allows the car to communicate with other cars, as well as the signs on the street. The trial was conducted at the new facility owned by Toyota in Japan.
The cars in the Intelligent Transport System that receives information from sensors and transmitters are installed in a way to minimize the risk of accidents in vulnerable conditions. Such as ignoring red lights, speeding cars from a position that is not visible in the rearview mirror (blind spot), or a pedestrian crossing the street. The system is also tested inter-vehicle communication systems.
If there is a pedestrian crossing at the location of the invisible driver, will trigger a beep-beep in the car, and the people will appear on the screen in front of the driver. Signs of the direction arrows will appear on another car speeding toward him at a crossroads. And a woman's voice reminded that there is a red light if the driver ignored a red light.
The location was an area of 3.5 ha, similar to road conditions in the area of education. Its location on the dean of Mount Fuji in Shizuoka Prefecture, central Japan.
Toyota's goal is to prevent accidents, more alert to pedestrians and helping elderly is a key driver to ensure safety driving in the future. "We offer the best technology in the world," said Managing officer Moritaka Yoshida.
Toyota also introduced a technology that helps drivers brake more strongly to prevent hit back. According to Toyota, the driver is often less powerful presses the brake pedal in a panic first.
Rear collisions accounted for 34% of total collisions in Japan, the most frequent types of accidents among others. The car can stop and go automatically, avoiding accidents now is not science fiction anymore.
