Toyota creates laser-based accident warning system

Perhaps in a move to out-do
Honda's IR-based warning sytem, today Toyota announced in Japan that they were introducing a laser-based warning system that shoots a green laser beam at the road ahead to warn of pedestrians or other obstacles.  An interrupted laser beam triggers a slew of warning sounds in the cockpit,
gently requesting that the driver honor us with either a brisk turn or a slam on the breaks lest that puppy get smushed under a Camry.  Unfortunately, we were unable to glean any new Toyota models shots, but in the meantime we'll keep our lasers pointed.
