There are active safety systems designed to avoid collisions as well as an array of sensors and automated control systems to observe, process and respond to the vehicle’s surroundings. These include GPS, stereo cameras, radar and Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) laser tracking.

Toyota is also researching Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) that utilise vehicle-to-vehicle (‘V2V’) and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications to further improve driving systems.
