announced that its
Brake Assist, which helps
apply proper braking power, can now as a world's
first,
coordinate with a vehicle's GPS navigation system.

«< When approaching an intersection the
system activates aural and
visual alerts to inform
the driver to stop.
>»
«< Depending on the vehicle’s relative position to the stop sign a variety of warnings occur, if
the
vehicle fails to decelerate additional warnings are given.
>»
«< By
determining the vehicle position and
actual force the driver applies to the brakes, the
system can decide if additional braking power is needed.
>»
«< Currently undergoing testing in Japan, Toyota hopes to offer the system there in the near
future as part of their continuing efforts to help prevent collisions.
