Toyota’s small models also will be having the widely acclaimed safety features such as the automatic emergency braking and the lane departure warning. The models which were recently laced with the features are Yaris Supermini and Aygo City car. Toyota declared in earlier this summer that the smallest trims of Aygo and Yaris will also be getting the aforementioned features as an option which will follow the installation of the said specs in Avensis and Auris.

Safety sense package will be bringing major safety features for both small cars. The pre-collision feature will warn the drivers if the vehicles detect any chances of a collision. The pre crash brake assistant will do the job of providing extra force to the brakes in case the drives decide to use breaks to avoid the collision. And if the driver doesn’t use breaks, then the highly efficient Autonomous Braking system will take the charge and will slow down the car to a speed of 19 mph without even the permission of the driver. These features will do a great job of reducing the number of accident which is on a rise per year.
Along with the above mentioned features, there also is the lane departure warning feature which will notify the driving in case he gets distracted and go out of his lane. Both audio and video warnings will alert him regarding the issue which is quite good and technologically advanced.
And what also is added? The automatic high beam technology which is a very essential part of the entire new pack of safety features. This hi tech system will enable the car to think itself and automatically it will switch between the low and the high beams. This was installed keeping in mind the problems which are faced by the drivers when they drive at night and the lights from the vehicles challenges the visual ability. This is one of the top reasons for road accidents at night as the drivers need to have a complete vision of the road in order to keep the car away from the pot holes and other things which are potentially very harmful and can become the cause of a major accident.
This is a huge step from Toyota motors as it has proved once again that driver’s safety is the main concern. While all other companies are busy giving their cars fresh sporty looks and lacing them with technologically advances features, safety generally gets sidelined but the steps taken by Toyota motors is quite commendable and it is expected that more companies will follow the trend and provide some high quality safety features in their lower trims as well. As of now, the advanced safety features are enjoyed mostly by the owners of the big shot cars.
However the inclusion of these new features will prove to be a little more costly for the owners of these cars. But some of the expense can easily be recovered as now the insurance aspect will be minimized.
