Toyota Motor Sales USA to launch proprietary telematics systems
Jan 08, 2009 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) --
Toyota Motor Sales USA has announced that it will launch its proprietary telematics systems in the year to come. The all-new systems will be available on select models with customized versions for both Lexus and Toyota brands.
According to the company, the Toyota brand will introduce Safety Connect on select Toyota models and Lexus will introduce Lexus Enform with Safety Connect, a service built on the foundation of safety and security services with the added layer of convenience-oriented features and specialized advanced technologies.
Safety Connect will include four safety and security facets: automatic collision notification, stolen vehicle location, emergency assistance button, and roadside assistance.
The company has said that the cornerstones of Lexus Enform are two convenience-based services: destination assist and eDestination. With these features, Lexus vehicles can become a virtual information tool. Both services also rest on the foundation of Toyota's dedicated ATX call center.
Jon Bucci, vice president of advanced technology department at Toyota Motor Sales USA, said: "We are proud to introduce these services and advance our relationships with our customers by providing them the features they need to feel safer and more secure while on the road. Our primary focus while developing our services was on three key traits: choice, convenience and control."
