Toyota Motor Corporation announces that it has developed a new generation of vehicles with an advanced driving support system.
The system, called AHDA (Automated Highway Driving Assist) aims to reduce the workload and concentration for drivers on the motorway: while driving, it activates a "cooperative-adaptive" driving control that communicates with the vehicle in front and the one behind to optimally manage the safety distance .
The company is still focused on offering control and "driving fun" to the driver: such a system is therefore a tool that can be turned on and off as desired when you want to drive with more serenity on the motorway. In other words, the car will drive “almost by itself” only when required.
AHDA will be marketed on the automaker's vehicles by the end of 2015 with an entire suite of tools to support safe driving.
As often happens, cutting-edge technological solutions "force" their introduction when there are pressing problems and high demand: in this case, the increase in the average age of drivers expected in the coming years will increasingly present the problem of guaranteeing safety to road transport and the lowest number of injuries.
The new technological tools will therefore ensure greater stability in the entire driving process, and further down the road (perhaps) a decongestion of traffic with a reduction in waste and pollution.
