(prHWY.com) September 5, 2011 - Jersey City, NJ -- Your favorite Toyota Service Center puts a high value on vehicle and passenger safety. We are proud to offer a wider variety of safety features in our vehicles, including Toyota's Star Safety System. This system is a bundle of numerous safety features and is offered as a standard on every vehicle we sell. We are also excited to announce a new advance in vehicle safety - active steering.
Our active steering system will function differently from other systems which apply brakes to avoid collisions. Instead, the system will actively steer your vehicle away from pending danger. The new system uses cameras and radar in the front of the vehicle, to detect a potential collision with a pedestrian. If it detects a pedestrian, the system will steer the car out of the way automatically, essentially overriding input from the driver.
While fatalities have been declining in auto accidents, deaths among pedestrians in traffic accidents haven't gone down in Japan. Toyota's newest pre-collision tech is intended to provide a new level of protection for pedestrians.
Chief safety technology officer, Moritaka Yoshida, had this to say about the advances in safety here at Toyota: "We must learn from accidents and keep making improvements in safety features."
It has not been announced which models the active steering will be available in, but we hope to see them soon. Whether you're looking for a used or 2012 Toyota, NJ car shoppers can always count on Hudson Toyota for the best deals. Stop in and see us soon!
