Toyota Motor Corp. said it planned to roll out new safety and driver-assistance programs on certain Toyota and Lexus models beginning late in the summer.
That marks the first major competition for General Motors Corp.’s OnStar service since it started up 12 years ago.
The Japanese automaker said Toyota and Lexus versions would offer safety systems, and the Lexus version would also include driver convenience features such as directions to nearby destinations and a voice-command program that could be used to control such features as the vehicle’s satellite radio and climate control system.
