Toyota intends to strengthen its traffic safety initiatives in the future through: the development of even safer vehicles and technologies; participation in the creation of a safe traffic environment; and activities designed to educate people in traffic safety, thereby contributing to the complete elimination of traffic casualties, which can be viewed as the ultimate hope of a society that values mobility.
The automaker’s safety technology and vehicle development aims to provide optimal driving support based on driving conditions, not only by integrating individual safety technologies and systems in the vehicle, but also by adopting an infrastructure-respondent system (road-to-vehicle) and using information obtained from vehicles other than the driver’s (vehicle-to-vehicle), to enhance synergistic effects.
Higher levels of safety are being pursued in five types of situations categorised by the degree of risk of an accident: parking, active safety, pre-crash safety, passive safety and emergency response. By increasing such integration even further in the future, Toyota seeks to reduce dangers related to vehicle use in the pursuit of vehicles that do not cause accidents.
