This diagram describes the transitions in Toyota's preventive safety technology over the past decade.
The basic theme of preventive safety is ensuring a high level of vehicle stability. Toyota developed the anti-lock braking system, or ABS, in 1971 and adopted the traction control (TRC) system in 1987. In 1995, Toyota commercialized steering-assisted vehicle stability control (VSC) system.
Moreover, Toyota has been engaged in the development of visibility support technology such as the blind-spot monitor. |
