These tin finishes can produce conductive tin whiskers capable of creating unintended electrical failures such as short circuits. The use of tin finish in Toyota's APPS is therefore a cause for concern. [15] Similarly in 2013, materials used in an automotive engine control unit (ECU) from a 2008 Toyota Tundra truck were analyzed.
Cruise control (also known as speed control, cruise command, autocruise, or tempomat) is a system that automatically controls the speed of an automobile. The system is a servomechanism that takes over the car's throttle to maintain a steady speed set by the driver.
The Dutch Connect&Drive project implemented CACC in seven Toyota Prius vehicles in 2009–2010. This project used a communication stack based on the reference architecture of the Car-2-Car Communication Consortium, using IEEE 802.11a hardware at the physical layer .
Adaptive cruise control does not provide full autonomy: the system only provides some help to the driver, but does not drive the car by itself. [3] For example, the driver is able to set the cruise control to 55mph, if the car while traveling that speed catches up to another vehicle going only 45mph, the ACC will cause the car to automatically brake and maintain a safe distance behind the ...
Others have come forward with their own stories about erratic vehicle behavior while using their cruise control. [219] In March 2010, Ward's Auto reported that user unfamiliarity with the faster response of laser- and radar-based cruise control systems was a likely factor according to AAA, NHTSA, and manufacturer findings.

Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) are document recommended procedures for repairing vehicles issued by a vehicle manufacturer when there are several occurrences of an unanticipated problem. [1] TSBs can range from vehicle-specific to covering entire product lines and break down the specified repair into a step-by-step process.
Hannah Waddingham has a “real problem” with Tom Cruise haters. “He is without doubt one of the loveliest and encouraging, positive and inspiring human beings I have ever met,” Waddingham ...
The first radar (instead of previous lidar) sensor on a Lexus sedan allowed the new Dynamic RADAR Cruise Control to work in any weather conditions. The millimetre-wave radar technology also enabled the first Pre-Collision System (PCS) on a Lexus sedan (with partial autonomous braking only on the Japanese market Toyota Celsior version). [ 87 ]
