While being one of the world’s largest auto manufacturers, Toyota
doesn’t limit themselves to just making the best vehicles available around the
world. Every day, Toyota makes headlines for their advancements in the auto industry as it advances its mission to provide mobility for all. Recently,
Toyota has been making investments in different projects like autonomous
vehicles, better and accessible public transportation, and renewable sources of
fuel. Needless to say, we’re excited for the arrival of this new Toyota technology
to Toyota of Orlando and we can’t wait to see what kind of waves this will make
in the automotive industry. The future is almost here and Toyota is paving the
way with its new Toyota technology projects and Toyota of Orlando has some
initial details.
Toyota and Panasonic
at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics
While it may not be an automotive project, not like Toyota and
Panasonic’s other partnership to develop better auto batteries, it’s still incredible
to see what Toyota technology can do. At Toyota of Orlando, we can’t wait to see
what’s coming next. Panasonic and Toyota plan to use a special fleet of robots
during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics. Toyota’s Human Support Robots
and Delivery Support Robots will be used to provide assistance to the elderly
and others during the festival by picking up and carrying objects. It will also
help disabled spectators to navigate the stadium during events. Panasonic will
also be demonstrating the capabilities of their Power Assist Suits that act as
a wearable exoskeleton to reduce strain and carrying loads.
Toyota’s Unique New
Feature
Have you ever wanted the interior of your vehicle to not
smell like the pizza you had carried out last night? This device can help with
that and more! Toyota recently filed a patent for an interesting piece of
Toyota technology, an interior deodorizer that also acts as an anti-theft device that sprays tear gas. What? Essentially, this device links to a smartphone
to deliver unique scents chosen by the vehicle owner and also emits tear gas in
the event that a thief tries to start the engine. We’re not sure if this piece
of Toyota technology will ever come to fruition in a new Orlando Toyota
vehicle. But, if it ever makes its way out of the patent phase, we can’t wait to
see it action!
More Autonomous
Vehicle Progress
In a recent partnership with NVIDIA, a company that
specializes in the manufacturing graphics cards and chips used in custom built
PCs, Toyota has come another step closer to producing an Orlando autonomous vehicle.
Toyota Research Institute-Advanced Development (TRI-AD) has been developing
technology to put the first totally autonomous vehicle on the road. NVIDIA will
be developing different driving software platforms with Toyota to bring us closer
to an autonomous driving experience.
Are curious about what else Toyota has coming down the pike
when it comes to new Toyota technology? Stay up to date with us at Toyota of
Orlando! You can find us at 3575 Vineland Road and we’re open seven days a week.
