Senior Accident Reduction Trials in Japan

Vehicle intersection warning display in action. Toyota just today conducted a safe driving class for seniors at the Toyota Chuo Driving School as part of field tests being conducted to curtail increasingly frequent accidents at intersections involving senior drivers. In cooperation with the non-profit Toyota Transportation Research Institute (TTRI), Toyota Chuo Driving School Co., Ltd., Toyota Central R&D Labs, Inc., and other organizations, the field tests began in February with 50 senior driver participants recruited in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, and are scheduled to conclude in May.
