See edited above post about where some of the info on SAS came from, that 0 fatalities comment was picked up from the comments of another poster. I have no idea if it is accurate and have no data from Toyota, so I will leave that to anyone that does.

On the argument that this system will allow the operators to push harder and then maybe be more likely to have an accident That may be true, but it would be no different than a motorcycle rider that rides much faster because he has a helmet on and knows he can take a faster crash than not having wearing one. It is not the helmets fault, the attitude of the rider or operator must come into play. A forklift or a helmet can give you an advantage, but if you immediately negate that advantage by doing something unwise it would not be as big a benefit.
