Technology:
Toyota developed a
new collision avoidance technology on high speed traveling. The new technology
is effective even if the speed difference between your car and the car
traveling before you is 60km/h. Suppose you are traveling at 80 km/h and the proceeding
car is traveling at 20 km/h. The speed difference is 60 km/h. When you come
close to the proceeding car, the new technology gives an alarm and activates the
powerful automatic brake if your braking is not enough to avoid a collision. Toyota’s
existing technology responds to a speed difference up to 40 km/h. In the case
of speed difference of 60 km/h, the avoidance technology grows more demanding
because the time before a collision becomes shorter. Toyota is trying to offer
the new system for less than 150,000 yen.
Toyota also
developed a technology to reduce the collision accident inside a parking lot. When
you shoot a car in a place where an obstacle exists both before and behind your
car, the technology will automatically regulate the engine and apply the brake.
This technology will decrease the accident will prevent you from crushing your
car into a convenience store. Honda also plans to develop a collision avoidance
system. Using an in-car camera and radar, Honda’s technology is expected to perceive
a pedestrian before your car and bring it to a stop automatically even if your
car is traveling at 60km/h. Fuji Heavy is one step ahead in the collision
avoidance system with its Eyesight, but Fuji Heavy’s system responds to a speed
up to 30km/h.
