How Vehicles Talk To Pedestrians
Research, In the News, CSRC
Whenever we cross the street or wait for the walk signal, we have ingrained behaviors and ways to signal our intent to drivers. Similarly, drivers behave in a way that signals their intents to pedestrians.

E-Scooters: A Roadmap To Vehicle Safety
Research, In the News, CSRC
An interview with Rini Sherony, a Senior Principal Engineer at the Toyota Collaborative Safety Research Center (CSRC), who is currently leading a multi-year study aimed at collecting and analyzing real-world e-scooter riding data in order to better understand interactions between e-scooters and vehicles to improve safety for all.

CSCRC’s Rini Sherony At 2019’s SAE Government / Industry Meeting
Events, CSRC
In order to advance self-driving technologies – with the goal of a safer, autonomous future – a wide variety of on-board vehicle systems need to work reliably and in close concert, leveraging lessons learned on the road today.

SAE Technical Session
Events, CSRC
As automated driving systems continue to be developed for future deployment, it is expected that the interiors of vehicles will significantly change as drivers become less engaged in the act of operating the vehicle itself – and with these new interior designs come different safety considerations.
