The 2017-model year was good for the Toyota Corolla, which got a refreshed style both inside and out, a new special edition model, and a bevy of active driver-assistive safety features suddenly made standard. For the 2018-model year, not much has changed, though a watchful eye would see a handful of improvements here and there—like illuminated vanity mirrors or new steering wheels for the manual SE and XLE models. The big news, however, is still the now-standard Toyota Safety Sense™ P (TSS-P) package. Want to see what it includes?

Standard Toyota Safety Sense™ P (TSS-P): Here's What's Included
The Corolla model in the tweet above certainly didn't have standard Toyota Safety Sense™ P (TSS-P)! But the 2018 Toyota Corolla does. Here's what that active safety package includes:
- Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection: An onboard camera keeps watch for pedestrians in front of you—if the system detects a frontal collision is possible, it will alert you with sounds and visuals, but if you don't react in time with the brakes, the system can apply the brakes automatically to help minimize the chance of a collision.
- Dynamic Radar Cruise Control: Perfect for highway travel, this feature lets you drive at a preset speed, while the system automatically adjusts your speed to maintain a set distance from the vehicle in front of you—if the driver in front slows, the system slows you down, too, but when traffic resumes its flow, the system will bring you back up to your originally determined cruising speed.
- Automatic High Beams: This system can actually help you be a better neighbor—by not accidentally blinding oncoming drivers at night! Active at speeds above 25 mph, this system can detect oncoming vehicles' headlights and the taillights of those ahead of you and it will automatically switch between your low and high beams accordingly. It's a win-win for you and other drivers.
