Toyota Corolla SE White Toyota is known for investing billions of dollars to make their vehicles safer for drivers and passengers. Toyota Proactive Driving Assist (PDA) helps drivers better use some existing safety features that already use the radar and camera systems on Toyota vehicles.
PDA enhances camera and radar systems for safer driving by gently braking or steering away from other vehicles, pedestrians, or bicyclists and navigating curves. There is more to it than this, so let’s cover this feature and how it can enhance your daily commute.

Toyota Supra in Nitro Yellow Vehicle Stability Control is an active safety technology that improves vehicle stability. It’s especially helpful when the road is slick or in emergency situations.
In December 2010, The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimated that if every vehicle on the road had Vehicle Stability Control, it would save as many as 10,000 lives and prevent 250,000 injuries per year.
Table of Contents How Does Vehicle Stability Control Work?VSC helps prevent wheel spin and loss of traction. The vehicle will then reduce engine power and simultaneously apply brakes to slow down the wheels that need it.
The system reads data from a steering wheel sensor and the ABS wheel-speed sensors to determine if the vehicle is following the driver’s steering inputs.
Suppose the vehicle deviates from the direction the driver is steering. In that case, [...]
