If you traveled at all during the Memorial Day, particularly if you passed near a high traffic area like a city or landmark, you know that travel during a holiday can be a bit of a harrowing ordeal. Between distracted drivers and the large volume of cars on the road, traffic jams are practically a given and accidents are a strong possibility. With so much to focus on during travel these days, it can be helpful to have another set of eyes on the road. Luckily, that's where Subaru's innovative EyeSight® technology comes in.
Using a complex system of cameras and sensors, Subaru's EyeSight® Driver Assist Technologies form a comprehensive network of safety around equipped Subaru Vehicles. It all begins with Pre-Collision Braking, which allows the vehicle to monitor vehicles and objects in front of it. If the system detects that a collision is possible, it warns the driver, and if the driver fails to act in time, it applies the brakes automatically, bringing the vehicle to a safe, controlled stop. However, obstacles on the road are not always in front of you. That's why many Subaru vehicles are available with Blind-Spot Detection, which scans the areas that are hard for the driver to see, and displays both a visual and auditory warning if the driver were to attempt to merge into a lane that may not be clear. These same sensors will also alert drivers to cross-traffic when pulling out of a parking space, ensuring that they don't back out into oncoming traffic.
These are just a few of the comprehensive safety technologies available with many current generation Subaru vehicles which have contributed to many of them being consistently ranked as IIHS Top Safety Picks, year after year.
