Add a pair of eyes to the road and, if necessary, an extra leg for braking while driving. Subaru Canada announced that the latest version of Subaru’s EyeSight safety technology was recently named Best Safety Innovation by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC). EyeSight makes every trip safer, monitors traffic movements, optimizes cruise control, and warns when the vehicle leaves the lane. Subaru has sold over 1 million EyeSight-equipped vehicles. When equipped with EyeSight, all 2022 Subaru models tested received the highest possible rating from the IIHS ( Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) for front-end crash protection. According to AJAC, the next-generation EyeSight features a wide-angle mono camera, making it the best security technology available in vehicles today. The Pre-Collision Braking feature allows full braking in an emergency, helping to avoid or mitigate head-on collisions.

“Subaru has a track record of continuous improvement in active safety systems,” said Graham Heeps, Chair, of AJAC Innovation Awards.

At the heart of the EyeSight system is a two-tone camera. Intelligently and unobtrusively placed near the rearview mirror, it scans the road for unexpected hazards. AJAC members nominated automakers for the Innovation Awards, with finalists selected in each of the three categories. Each automaker selected as a finalist presented its technology virtually to 11 judges. Consisting of Canada’s most knowledgeable and respected journalists who regularly cover automotive technology.
