Toyota Has A Remedy For Mixing Up Pedals Issue.

Tharahni Kalaiselvan / 26/11/2019

Toyota Motor Corporation, headquartered in Toyota, Aichi, Japan. It is the Japanese multinational car manufacturer which was founded in 1937.

Earlier this year, the Ministry of Transport in Japan intended to come up with a solution for accidents. They requested Toyota and seven other major car manufacturers to come up with a solution for the misapplication of the accelerator.

Toyota

According to Japan, from January to June 2019 there were 149 fatal accidents involving drivers aged 75 and above. It is assumed that 11% of these deadly accidents were caused by misapplication of the brake. Toyota plans to roll out a new feature in response to this. As reported by The Japan News, to prevent such accidents caused by mixing the brake and accelerator pedals.

Toyota

While on the market for other vehicles, protection against pedal misapplication is already available. But most of these apps concentrate on detecting walls or other cars. What Toyota wants to do is different, it should also be possible to detect pedestrians with the new feature.

In other words, if the driver misapplied the accelerator instead of the brakes as a human or a bike was detected up front, the vehicle would not move and the energy of the engine would be suppressed. However, the new safety feature of Toyota will also detect whether the driver has slammed the accelerator, even if there is no obstacle in front of the vehicle. Besides that, the power of the engine will be suppressed, which could raise some people’s eyebrows. On the other hand, some manufacturers might argue that there are instances where fast acceleration may be required, such as climbing a ramp or getting up to speed on the highway.

Conclusion

Nonetheless, Toyota starts to differ as it prefers the advantages for pedestrians and bicycles of the new feature. According to sources from “The Japan News”, Toyota aims to add the new feature to new cars by the end of the year. They will start implementing with the Prius which is a popular purchase for elderly drivers. The company would also like to allow older cars to be retrofitted for a cost of about 50,000 yen (around $470) or less. Nevertheless, there are no records when the safety feature hits other countries outside Japan.
