What if we could reduce driver distraction before ever putting a
key in the ignition? That’s the focus of the Driver Awareness Research
Vehicle that Toyota will show at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show on
Wednesday, November 20th at 3:40 PM, at a press conference located in
the Toyota display.
In addition to this
all-new, concept research vehicle, Chuck Gulash, Director of Toyota’s
Collaborative Safety Research Center (CSRC), will discuss two important
CSRC research programs, including:
- Important research findings from a joint partnership between MIT
and Toyota that sheds new light on driver distractions associated with
voice command systems
- Information on a
groundbreaking study with Stanford University, employing a new and
innovative driving simulator that will enhance our understanding of how
drivers and cars interact as we move closer to fully automated forms of
driving
