Toyota Motor Corp. tells reporters its Toyota brand will begin in the 2015 model year to offer active safety technology such as anti-collision systems in U.S. models.
Bill Fay, U.S. general manager of the Toyota Div., declines to be specific. But he says the features will derive from those currently available only in the company's luxury Lexus vehicles.
Fay says at least some of the technologies will seep into the Toyota brand's entire U.S. lineup by 2017.
