'''Intersection assistant''' is an [advanced driver-assistance system](/source/advanced_driver-assistance_system) first introduced in 2009.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.toyota.co.jp/en/news/09/0226.html |title=Toyota Adds to Pre-crash Safety Technologies |date=26 February 2009 |access-date=2016-03-08 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161027062425/http://www.toyota.co.jp/en/news/09/0226.html |archive-date=2016-10-27}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.toyota-global.com/innovation/safety_technology/safety_technology/img/Toyotas_history_of_safety_technology.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150105122535/http://www.toyota-global.com/innovation/safety_technology/safety_technology/img/Toyotas_history_of_safety_technology.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 5, 2015 |title=History of Safety Technology |publisher=Toyota}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1032400_toyota-upgrades-pre-crash-safety-suite-with-probable-accident-detection-radar-system |title=Toyota upgrades Pre-crash Safety suite with 'probable accident detection' radar system |work=MotorAuthority |author=Ralph Hanson |date=2 March 2009 |access-date=2024-11-04}}</ref>

City [junctions](/source/Road_junction) are a major accident blackspot.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}} These collisions can mostly be attributed to [driver distraction](/source/Distracted_driving) or misjudgement. Whereas humans often react too slowly, assistance systems are immune to that brief moment of shock.

The system monitors cross traffic in an intersection/road junction. If this anticipatory system detects a hazardous situation of this type, it prompts the driver to start emergency braking by activating visual and acoustic warnings and automatically engaging brakes.
