Re: Toyota unveils hybrid version of flagship Crown
Quote:
The new models to be sold in Japan are installed with a pre-crash safety system, billed as a world first by Toyota, which detects if drivers' eyes are fully open, the company said.
Once the system catches that a driver's eyes are closed for a while, it gives out an alert and forces the vehicle to stop when a risk of collision arises, the company said.
