A Look at the Impressive Subaru EyeSight System and What It Offers
May 15 2023,
Subaru has always been recognized for the safety its vehicles provide. Their standard symmetrical AWD system, combined with the latest technological advancements in passive safety and collision protection, have consistently placed Subaru vehicles among the safest in their respective segments. They have received multiple awards from both the NHTSA and the IIHS. Subaru also distinguishes itself in the realm of active safety and driver assistance. The Japanese automaker's EyeSight active safety suite of technologies is one of the industry's best, serving as a benchmark for multiple other manufacturers. Subaru EyeSight technology offers enhanced collision avoidance systems, and this year, EyeSight has improved further with the addition of a new mono wide-angle camera.
What is the Subaru Mono Wide-Angle Camera System?
The new mono wide-angle camera was recently introduced and quickly received industry praise. Its ability to detect such behaviors as lane deviations led to its being named the Ajax Safety Innovation Technology of the Year in 2023, and it has also been praised by the IIHS in safety testing.
The mono wide-angle camera essentially supplements the EyeSight system, which already uses a camera lens as its main detection feature. This camera scans the road ahead, notifying the driver of potential dangers or situations that require corrective actions, such as lane deviations or a need to stop for a vehicle braking suddenly.
The new mono wide-angle camera broadens the field of vision of the EyeSight camera, improving the detection of bicycles and pedestrians. This advancement means that EyeSight can detect more than just vehicles on the road. It can also automatically apply the brakes if a vehicle suddenly stops, or if a bicycle or pedestrian is detected in your path.
The Impressive Features of Subaru EyeSight Technology
Subaru EyeSight technology delivers remarkable features and capabilities, enhancing your peace of mind and comfort on the road.
Subaru EyeSight is designed to detect potential dangers and make appropriate corrections if the driver does not react in time. It can detect if you're about to deviate from your lane and correct your course, or notice if another vehicle cuts across your path and apply the brakes to maintain a safe distance. Subaru EyeSight intervenes as a last resort, never compromising the driver's experience or becoming frustrating to the point where you would want to deactivate the system, an issue that occurs with some other technologies. With EyeSight, you have a guardian angel looking over you, but never in an intrusive or annoying way.
