To build a safer car, Japanese automakers are trying to replace the most accident-prone (易出事故的) part: the driver.

Inspired by statistics blaming human error for most accidents, Toyota and its competitors are designing “intelligent” cars that can almost drive themselves on the high way.

The systems are designed to reduce human tiredness and the mistakes that often result. This kind of support is what drivers need most in a country with some of the most crowded reads in the world. That is why it should not be surprising that Japan is leading the race to make cars smarter.

To provide a safer ride, Japanese automakers are turning to technologies like laser radar and machine vision to replace tired eyes and wandering minds.

An infrared radar unit fixed on the bumper is part of a now cruise (巡航) control method that Toyota introduced in August 1997. It’s now an optional feature on its Celsior luxury sedan that costs 70,000 yen (US$648).

The “adaptive” system tracks the car ahead, and slows down or speed up the car automatically to keep a safer distance in highway traffic. The same technology has also been used by some cars made by Toyota’s competitors.

Subaru, a type of its Legacy wagon, made its first appearance last September with Active Driving Assist, which besides adjusting cruising speed, sounds an alarm if the car goes out of its lane or makes a turn too fast. In the latter case, it down shifts gear even before the driver starts to brake.

An even smarter system is coming from Honda. Called Honda Intelligent Driver Support (HIDS), it “sees” the road through a tiny camera on the windshield and helps steer the car down the middle of lane. A computer picks out lines on the highway surface and touched the car’s steering wheel in the right direction. Honda got approval in March to start testing HIDS on the highway and says it will arrive in showrooms in the near future.
