Designed to reduce accidents, injury and death, the systems include: 
• Collision avoidance, using millimetre-wave radar, stereo cameras and infra-red beams. The system uses millimetres-wave radar and stereo cameras to detect pedestrians and vehicles in front of the car. It also emits near-infrared beams to enhance visibility at night.
• Glare-preventing adaptive headlights that partially shield the headlight's high beam to prevent blinding other drivers. Known as the Adaptive Driving Beam, it also improves night-time visibility by maintaining illumination as close as possible to high-beam intensity.
• A pop-up hood designed to lessen pedestrian injury, and preventing accidents caused by sudden change in a driver's physical condition, such as a heart attack: Toyota's newly developed pop-up hood helps reduce pedestrian head injury during a collision. The system automatically raises the rear of the hood, providing more space between a pedestrian's body and engine-bay components. Regarding the driver’s physical condition, the emergency-response technology involves detecting risk by monitoring cardiovascular functions through the driver's grasp of the steering wheels.


Once again, TOYOTA, the number 1 car manufacturer in the world, with the highest budget for Research & Development, reaches a higher level in innovation worldwide.
