This has been a tough couple of years for heavy-truck drivers on our nation’s highways. A U.S. Department of Transportation report compiling crash data for 2019, the most recent year for which these figures are available, shows that fatalities for large-truck occupants reached their highest level in more than 30 years. U.S. trucking fatalities for 2018 also exceeded a level not seen since 1988.
There are many factors that may play into this trend. There is no secret that the industry has been challenged to attract and train drivers to fill the pipeline. Manufacturers of on-highway trucks have stepped to the plate with upgraded collision mitigation technologies. But up until recently, many of these technologies were not available to vocational trucks customers.

In response to Cadillac’s Super Cruise and Tesla’s Autopilot, Toyota recently unveiled its newest Advanced Drive autonomous driving system, a human-centric driving assist feature born from the automaker’s Mobility Teammate Concept. Toyota’s latest Advanced Drive ADAS feature will first appear in the 2021 Lexus LS and Toyota Mirai FCEV.
The premise of Advanced Drive “seeks to enhance communication between drivers and cars,” said Toyota, where “drivers and cars act as partners to protect one another.” Naturally, artificial intelligence is at the core of Advanced Drive, but the system considers the human element when making crucial decisions on the road. “The objective is driving assist that fosters trust between driver and car through this two-way communication,” added Toyota.
