Innovative Toyota Tech Keeps You Safer

Here at Bell Road Toyota, we know that safety is one of your main concerns when you're buying a vehicle. That's why new Toyota cars offer innovative Toyota Sensing safety features and other technology that keeps you safe. That's not enough for the Toyota brand though, and its engineers are already looking to the safety tech of the future. That's where “Guardian” driving technology comes in.

The Guardian system differs from what some automakers are doing. While they focus on taking control away from the drivers, Toyota cars equipped with Guardian will expect a driver to remain in control, while maintaining the ability to step in during an emergency. The idea is to take the best driving behaviors of humans and machines, and combine them.

It actually takes some inspiration from fighter jets. A pilot doesn't control every aspect of flying, instead feeding their inputs into a flight control system that stabilizes the aircraft and makes other decisions and thousands of adjustments per second. This Guardian safety technology would do something similar, keeping drivers safe without taking away all of their agency.

Fully autonomous vehicles may not be on our streets anytime soon, but in the meantime the Toyota brand can keep us safer with innovative features that make it easier to drive safely. After all, the main goal of semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicle tech should be to save lives and prevent collisions. We can't wait to see what other safety technology comes to our favorite Toyota models.
