Present and future of safety technology development at Toyota
 
This chart compares the frequency of single-car and head-on collision accidents and fatalities involving vehicles equipped with the VSC system and those that are not.

The graph shows that ratio of accidents and deaths decreaased for VSC-incorporated vehicles.

Although human factors such as driver handling may have influenced these results, we believe that VSC is an effective device in accident prevention.
