Charging While Driving

Toyota has continually looked to be the most forward-thinking of all automakers. Now comes word that that’s not just an idea or slogan. Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA is proud to announce that, in 2020, the United States Patent and Trademark Office granted more patents to Toyota than any other car manufacturer. Just how many? The automaker got a total of 2,819 patents last year – up an impressive 4 percent from the year prior. Toyota has always put an exceptionally heavy emphasis on research and development. The company’s engineers and scientists are continually seeking improvements in automotive technology, as well as emerging technology overall. One measure of that? Since 2003, the company has received over 1,400 patents related to "driverless car" technology. That's helped improve safety systems like pedestrian detection, lane change warnings, and much more. And here are a few other statistics to prove how serious Toyota is about remaining out front of other automakers: since 2017, the company has invested over $1 billion in research and development as it relates to robotics and automated vehicles. On a similar note, Toyota invests an astonishing $1 million – every hour – towards emerging technology overall. Peruzzi Toyota is happy to share these comments from Frederick Mau, Director of Patent Licensing for Toyota Motor North America: "Innovation across Toyota is driving our transition to a mobility company, and Toyota's leading patent portfolio is one important measure of that progress along with our investments in research, collaboration, and partnerships." With over 2,800 patents in a single year, that’s proof enough that Toyota never, ever rests on its reputation as one of the top automotive brands on the market. The commitment to always improving and offering drivers the most cutting-edge technology for safety, design, and comfort makes choosing a Toyota a no-brainer. Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA is proud to represent the brand and eager to show you the exciting models available!

Toyota has always been at the forefront of automotive technology, whether it be safety or entertainment related. Earlier this year we learned that Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa support were coming to a whole host of 2019 Toyota vehicles including the Avalon, Corolla Hatchback, and RAV4. Recently, the company announced that the latest models to be receiving this treatment would be the Camry sedan and Sienna minivan. Since these are two of the most popular Toyota models, it only makes sense that they would be the next vehicles in the Toyota fleet to get Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa support. Learn more about Toyota's CarPlay and Alexa support below and then come find out more at Peruzzi Toyota. If you're not familiar with Apple CarPlay, it's a great feature of iOS that makes using your phone in the car much easier and safer. Rather than looking down at your hand-held phone which is dangerous and illegal, CarPlay allows you to get all the great features of your iPhone or iPod on the Entune 3.0 touchscreen display system right in the center console of your Toyota vehicle. In order to activate CarPlay on your 2019 Toyota vehicle, you just need an iOS device connected via a USB cable to the vehicle's entertainment system. For Alexa support, users need an Android device that is equipped with Android 5.0 or higher. Alexa support for iOS devices will be coming in early 2019. Toyota is one of the first vehicle manufacturers to introduce Amazon Alexa support, typical of Toyota's commitment to staying on the cutting edge of technological developments. Since Apple CarPlay was first announced by Toyota in January 2018, the company has been hard at work transforming the Entune 3.0 infotainment system to make it compatible with both systems. The Entune 3.0 also features a built-in modem that can provide you with Wi-Fi on the go.
