The Toyota Collaborative Safety Research Center (CSRC)  has recently completed its first phase of five years of auto safety research. The CSRC has now launched the next phase of its research mission. Dubbed as CSR Next, this phase will focus on more on the challenges and opportunities in the connected and future mobility sector. A budget of $35 million will be allotted for the same. “The launch of CSRC Next reflects Toyota’s understanding of the importance of human interaction with emerging and advanced vehicle technologies. These highly advanced systems are radically reshaping the transportation landscape, building a relationship between drivers, occupants and vehicles as teammates working together safely and conveniently. We are excited to continue our safety mission by helping to support a safe evolution to a broader mobility future,” Chuck Gulash, Director of CSRC said.
