Toyota's Navi Brake Assist hopes to minimize reckless drivers

Reckless drivers are one of the major cause of accidents on road. They try to beat red lights or worse--don't even stop at them thus accounting for most of road accidents. Toyota hopes to minimize those kind of accidents with their Navi Brake Assist. This system hopes to reduce collisions at stops signs. By taking information from the map data stored on in-car navigation systems, Navi Brake Assist will inform drivers of stop signs and will assist them in braking when the driver suddenly applies the brake in response to the information.

Toyota will deploy the Navi Brake Assist on their new car models that will be launched in Japan.
