Subaru was one of the safest vehicles on the road right now
But the automaker has really raised the bar with his latest tech
Here's what you need to know about Subarus eyesight driver assist technology
It's essentially a system that provides another set of eyes on the road and should you need it?
Hands on the wheel and a foot on the brake
The system relies on dual cameras mounted on either side of the rear-view mirror they scan the road for potential danger
Then the system alerts and assists you in a variety of ways
If you spend a lot of time and stop-and-go traffic or on the highway you'll really appreciate
Adaptive cruise control you set the distance
You'd like to keep between you and the car ahead of you the system, then monitors the movements of other cars
Then automatically adjust to keep a safe distance
and
If you veer from your path Lane keep assist and sway warning will alert you with a flashing light on the dash and a beep
Also, the system will gently correct your steering and bring you back into your Lane
Eyesight's pre-collision braking and throttle management is equally impressive for braking
It scans and analyzes the distance ahead to determine if your closing speed is too dangerous
If it is it'll flash and sound an alert then eyesight will apply the brakes automatically if you don't
The system will also ease up on the gas automatically if you don't see the car ahead in that case eyesight
Helps limit the force of impact as well as damage to the car if an accident is unavoidable
Another great feature is say. You're sitting at a stoplight and the car ahead of you pulls away
But you didn't notice the car will beep to let you know
One thing we don't like eyesight can't turn us off off during heavy rain or snow and it occasionally gives false warnings
overall we found
Subarus eyesight to be smooth and easy to use
