- Since 2015 rollout, 10 million-milestone reached in 3.5 years
- Installed in 90 per cent of Toyota vehicles in Japan, the United States, and Europe
- Rear-end collisions reduced by 70 per cent (90 per cent when combined with Intelligent Clearance Sonar, which covers lower speed rear-end collisions)
- Ongoing development to support intersection accident response
- Introduced in 68 countries and regions, with expansion to approximately 100 by 2020 planned
Toyota first introduced the package with the “Corolla” series, centred on the belief that popularizing safety technology is vital. Toyota Safety Sense is currently equipped in approximately 90 percent of Toyota and Lexus vehicles2 for the Japanese, United States, and European markets. At present, it has been introduced in a total of 68 countries and regions, including China, other select Asian countries, the Middle East, and Australia.
Toyota Safety Sense helps avoid or mitigate damage and/or injury from serious traffic accidents, based on accident data from Japan, the United States, and Europe.
- Pre-Collision System (PCS): helps prevent and mitigate damage from rear-end collisions involving vehicles and/or pedestrians3
- Lane Departure Alert (LDA): helps prevent vehicles from deviating from their lanes and head-on collisions4
- Automatic High Beam (AHB): contributes to the early detection of pedestrians and the reduction of accidents during nighttime driving5
Rear-end collisions—the most common type of accident in Japan—involving vehicles equipped with Toyota Safety Sense have been reduced by approximately 70 percent6. If TSS and Intelligent Clearance Sonar (ICS), which covers lower-speed collisions, are combined, rear-end collisions have fallen by approximately 90 percent.
Toyota Safety Sense is further evolving, based on a two-pronged approach of bolstering its adaptability to traffic accidents involving fatalities and/or injuries, and further popularizing the package, aiming toward the goal of completely eliminating traffic fatalities and injuries.
Toyota and Lexus aim to introduce the packages in around 100 countries and regions, including Asia and Latin America, by 2020.
With a focus on providing everyone with safe, reliable mobility, Toyota considers Safety Sense a cornerstone of safe car-making. Toyota will continue to develop safety from a wide range of perspectives, including activities to raise awareness such as “Support Toyota”7 and by supporting the development of a traffic environment that includes the use of Intelligent Transport System (ITS) and connected technologies.
