Subaru of America has announced that the cumulative global sales of its vehicles equipped with the award-winning EyeSight Driver Assist Technology has surpassed five million vehicles in June this year. This was accomplished after 14 years since the system was first introduced in Japan in May 2008.
EyeSight was the first driver assist package ever available which featured stereo camera technology to provide driver assist features such as Adaptive Cruise Control and Pre-Collision Braking. The technology not only detects cars, but also pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists in the vehicle's path.
