Subaru Unveils New Driver Warning System for U.S. Models

Subaru has long considered itself on the front lines in terms of vehicle safety, but the biggest problem with new technological advances in things like early warning systems and the like are expensive and reserved for people who can afford to shell out $60,000 or more on a nice car. Their solution: a side-mirror-mounted system that can help drivers avoid problems on the road - long before the driver even sees them. The EyeSight system, as Subaru has named it, can also stop a vehicle going speeds up to 19 miles per hour, which is something new for most safety systems. The company is looking forward to marketing this new technology extensively once it works out all the kinks, and consumers can expect them to be installed in new Subaru models sooner rather than later. Auto transportation companies have wanted to include systems not unlike this one for a long time, but as Subaru is proving, it can be costly to do so. Hopefully something like this winds up in all long-distance logistics trucks soon, though, as it can only make the road safer for everyone.
