Happy Presidents’ Day from Passport Auto Group
Today we honor all of the great men who have given so much of their lives to lead our Country. We hope that everyone enjoys their Presidents’ Day.
We’ve all had close calls behind the wheel. Maybe another driver was to blame, or something distracted you at the wrong time. It happens to almost every driver at one time or another, and it’s why Toyota has made its industry-leading accident avoidance technology standard equipment on almost all its vehicles.
Since being announced in 2015, Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) – equipped with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) has become a safety trailblazer, helping pave the way for AEB to become available on vehicles across the industry. In fact, in 2016, Toyota was one of 20 automakers that entered into a voluntary agreement with the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) that requires AEB on more than 95% of the vehicles an OEM builds by the fall of 2022.
