Toyota all set with its exclusive 'self-drive car' [Asian News International]

(Asian News International Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) London, Jan 5 (ANI): Toyota has released an exclusive video showing a self-drive car safety technology ahead of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas next week.

The car maker revealed a video clip of a Lexus fitted with safety features designed to minimise car crashes.

The technology includes on-board radar and video cameras to monitor the road, the surroundings, and the driver, the BBC reports.

According to the report, a Toyota spokesman said that the car can also communicate with other vehicles.


The video shows a prototype Lexus LS fitted with what Toyota's described as an "Intelligent Transport Systems" (ITS) technology.

According to the report, Toyota has also developed technology that lets a car communicate with a driver's smartphone to offer augmented reality features.

This would let the car know about places by the road letting it, for example. recommend an upcoming restaurant, said the spokesman. (ANI) (c) 2012 aninews.in All rights reserved. Provided by Syndigate.info an Albawaba.com company
