85% of Subaru models sold in domestic market equipped with advanced EyeSight driver assist system
Subaru is reporting very high levels of demand for EyeSight driver assist system, with over 85% of sold Subaru models now equipped with the system.
The EyeSight driver assist system has just been launched in the UK, as standard with the all-new Subaru Outback when equipped with Lineartronic transmission. The technology is due to be introduced to other models in the Subaru range in the coming years.
Subaru’s EyeSight system acts as a ‘second pair of eyes’ for drivers, employing stereo colour camera technology to detect other vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists, and slowing or stopping the car when necessary. The technology incorporates autonomous Pre-collision Braking Control and Pre-collision Throttle Management, Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Departure & Sway Warning.
The company has this week passed a new milestone with the sale of the 300,000th vehicle with EyeSight technology in Japan.
Subaru’s ‘all-around safety’ development mantra will ensure that Subaru’s active, passive and pre-crash safety technologies undergo continuous improvement with each new model.
