Toyota is testing a new car safety system that will allow their vehicles to talk to each other and with the roads they drive on!

They're testing the new vehicles at the Intelligent Transport System site where cars get info from sensors in the road and the other cars.

It's meant to help motorists avoid running red lights, cars merging into their blind spot, and to alert them of crossing pedestrians and much more!

We just previously mentioned that Honda was recalling all V6 Accords between 2003 and 2007 for a leaky hose problem.

Not to be outdone, Toyota has a recall of its own.

7.43 MILLION vehicles are being recalled all over the world!

During Toyota's Pro/Celebrity Race in Long Beach, Cali there was a pretty good car crash…

…Between Eddie Cibrian and Brody Jenner!

The two were racing when everything went wrong… and it's kinda Eddie's fault.

He said:

"Carnage happened. My car was lucky, but I was driving with my steering wheel sideways. It did a 180!"

Brody spoke out on the whole incident, saying:

"[The crash] wasn't my fault, right?! I had a good time while I was out there. I was picking my time, Eddie kept blocking me. I finally had a better run on the straightaway, so I went for it. But he wasn't braking!"

He continued, saying that while going around a turn, he was able to edge by…but Eddie's car didn't make it…and it lost control, hit the wall, bounced off and smashed into his car.

This obviously upset him, so he said:

"I'm gonna kick his ass. No, he's big, I don't want to kick his ass. That's racing though! I'm just bummed I didn't get to win! 'Cause I think if I woulda kept off that wall, I maybe woulda had a chance. Oh, well, next year."

Way to be a good sport about…it sort of…we guess. LOLz!

We're just glad no one was hurt. Better luck next year!

Long Beach got celebrified on Saturday when the celebs came out for the Toyota Grand Prix Pro Celebrity Race.

Everyone from Frankie Muniz to Djimon Hounsou showed up.

Even though Frankie looks super strapping in that uniform, it’s hard to imagine him driving a race car!
