Toyota Motor Corporation (NYSE: TM) (LSE: TYT) (TYO: 7203), a Japan-based automaker, has launched new technologies to curb unintended acceleration.
The automaker has developed Intelligent Clearance Sonar, which is meant to reduce car park collisions by detecting objects out of the driver’s sight.
Other technology includes Drive-Start Control, which senses that the wrong gear has been selected from Park while the driver is pressing on the accelerator, a warning is flashed on the dashboard and the engine output is reduced ‘to limit a sudden start or acceleration.’
