Under Construction
Subaru Eyesight brings adaptive cruise control and collision prevention.
Two front facing cameras provide input to the system.
- Adaptive Cruise Control can regulate vehicle speed in order to keep a safe following distance from the car ahead.
- Recognize an impending collision with the vehicle or obstacle in front of the EyeSight vehicle, alert the driver and even automatically apply the brakes to help avoid a collision or minimize the impact when a collision is inevitable.
- Prevent drivers from accelerating into a stopped vehicle or other obstacle in front of them.
- Lead Vehicle Start Alert notifies the driver when the vehicle in front has started moving but the EyeSight driver's vehicle has not.
- Lane Departure Warning alerts drivers when they unintentionally move out of their travel lane.
- Lane Sway Warning acts in a similar way, detecting unusual back and forth vehicle movement within the driver's lane of travel that is usually indicative of a drowsy driver.
Some things that inhibit the cameras from working properly.
- Dirty windshield
- Sun glare
- Water-repellent glass coatings
It will not recognize
- Low-contrast objects
- Non-standard shaped vehicles, such as cement mixers or car-carrier trucks.
- Objects with regularly spaced patterns, no pattern, horizontal lines, backlit objects.
