With all the added distractions that people have to contend with these days, the need for safety has only increased. Numerous studies have shown a continual increase in distracted drivers on today’s roads. Whether it is due to looking at their phones, fidgeting with the in-vehicle entertainment systems or simply not paying attention, more and more accidents are being caused by lack of focus on the task of driving.
This has led to a significant effort to create better safety technology to help those who not only have to deal with everyone else’s distracted driving but sometimes their own as well. That is where Subaru Eyesight comes in. By monitoring movements and conditions on the road through its dual color camera system, our drivers now have several key systems which help them to avoid collisions and other types of accidents.
Here's how Subaru Eyesight works:
Through Pre-Collision Throttle Management
This feature helps you avoid accidental acceleration during times where doing so may cause an accident. It detects when a vehicle in front of you has slowed down and will send you audio and visual warnings to make sure that you are also aware of it.
By Optimizing Cruise Control
Adaptive cruise control is not only a safety feature; it is also incredibly convenient as well. Since traffic rarely maintains a steady rate of speed, this system will adjust your cruising speed to keep you at the same distance from the vehicle in front of you that you were when you activated it. It also works in stop and go traffic and will ultimately bring the vehicle to a complete stop, if necessary.
By Offering Lane Assistance
With the cameras monitoring the lane markers in the road, it will send alerts when begin to veer over them. If you’re too far out of your lane, it will adjust the steering to bring you back safely inside it.
With Its Pre-Collision Braking System
This system reduces the likelihood and severity of rear end collisions. By monitoring the distance of the vehicle in front of you, it’ll alert you to the possibility of a collision. If you do not react quickly enough in an emergency situation, it will apply the brakes for you.
