Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is expected to change regulations at a later date to require new models of automatic cars to be fitted with an anti-misstep device, which will gradually be extended to new cars of existing models. The device will use technology capable of detecting objects in front of and behind the vehicle to stop the car from accelerating, and even if the driver fully depresses the gas pedal at a distance of 1 to 1.5 meters from a large object, the car will come to a stop before hitting the object, or reduce its speed to less than 8 kilometers per hour if a collision is unavoidable. When the device is activated, a warning is also displayed in the car, such as “release the gas pedal”.
