Toyota to expand data storage

Toyota plans to upgrade its event data recorders so they record information not only related to crashes, but also to sudden acceleration and have them installed in its new vehicles.

The installation of the upgraded data recorders is aimed at completing arrangements for a structure to pursue its investigation into the cause of the sudden unintended acceleration of its vehicles, which has sparked recalls in the United States and other markets, and dispelling drivers' concerns about the safety of its vehicles and regain their trust as soon as possible.
