Subaru reveals EyeSight driver assist technology
AT THE 2018 SINGAPORE MOTOR SHOW
SINGAPORE—While most other carmakers wowed the crowds at the recently concluded Singapore Motor Show with gleaming new sheet metal, Subaru went the opposite way and showed off the heretofore invisible technologies that set their cars above the norm.
And it’s ironic that the newest of these “invisible” technologies is called EyeSight.
Subaru has been known for empowering drivers with confidence, comfort and safety as a result of Subaru’s core exclusive technologies such as the superbly balanced Boxer Engine, high-traction Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and the safe and comfortable-riding Subaru Global Platform. The camerabased EyeSight complements Subaru’s core technologies, bringing safety to a much more advanced, new level.
“We are thrilled to finally launch the award-winning Subaru EyeSight technology at the Singapore Motorshow 2018. EyeSight completes Subaru’s core technology pillars to present a wholesome and attractive package for customers who are looking for the highest standards of safety, driving performance and comfort in a car,” said Glenn Tan, Managing Director, Tan Chong International Limited. (Regional Subaru distributor, Motor Image, is under the Tan Chong Group.)
EyeSight is a driving support system that uses a range of functions to assist the driver, providing a safer and comfortable driving experience. Adding confidence to every trip, EyeSight uses stereo cameras to identify the surrounding vehicles, obstacles, traffic lanes and other items. Under the right circumstances, it will apply the brakes or reduce the throttle to minimize the risk of a collision.
When equipped with EyeSight, all 2017 Subaru models received the highest possible 2017 rating for front crash prevention by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in the United States. This advanced system provides extra awareness, safety, and added confidence every time drivers step behind the wheel.
