An extra set of eyes on the road and, if need be, an extra foot on the brake when you drive.
EyeSight Driver Assist Technology is the culmination of everything Subaru engineers know about safety, and Subaru has sold over 1 million EyeSight-equipped vehicles. Adding confidence to every trip, EyeSight monitors traffic movement, optimizes cruise control, and warns you if you sway outside your lane.
When equipped with EyeSight, all tested 2022 Subaru models receive the highest possible rating for front crash prevention by IIHS. The Pre-Collision Braking feature can even apply full braking force in emergency situations, helping you avoid or reduce frontal impacts.
The core of the EyeSight system is its set of color cameras. Intelligently and unobtrusively placed near the rearview mirror, they scan the road for unanticipated dangers.
This advanced system provides extra awareness, safety, and added peace of mind every time you drive. Watch the videos below to see how each component of EyeSight works together to bring you a safer road ahead.
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control
Available on select models, Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control lets you choose the distance you want to keep from the car in front of you while also helping you stay safe and centered in your lane.
Lane Keep Assist
EyeSight monitors your position on the road and will alert you if you stray out of your lane.
Pre-Collision Braking
Pre-Collision Braking helps you avoid or reduce frontal impacts by alerting you and applying full braking force in emergency situations.
Pre-Collision Throttle Management
EyeSight detects objects in front of the vehicle that you are likely to hit. It will reduce the power from the engine to help minimize the possible impact force and frontal impact damage.

Subaru made history by being the first automaker to use only stereo camera technology for its EyeSight driver assist features.
Introduced in 2013 for the Legacy and Outback models, EyeSight provides safety features like Adaptive Cruise Control and Pre-Collision Braking that can detect not just other cars, but also pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists in the vehicle's path.
EyeSight equipped models now account for a 91% of Subaru's global sales, proving the popularity and success of this advanced system. For 2022, all Subaru models with EyeSight earned the highest possible rating of "Superior" for front crash prevention from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
Remarkably, over 3 million EyeSight equipped Subarus have been sold in the US since its introduction less than 10 years ago. For 2022, eight Subaru models received IIHS TOP SAFETY and TOP SAFETY+ awards thanks to EyeSight and other safety features.
Since 2013, Subaru has racked up an impressive 63 TOP SAFETY PICK+ awards from IIHS - more than any other brand. This demonstrates Subaru's consistent commitment to safety and collision avoidance in their vehicles.
So how does EyeSight work exactly? Using two Subaru-developed color cameras mounted behind the windshield, EyeSight can identify vehicles, traffic lanes, obstacles, and pedestrians. This technology allows EyeSight to activate pre-collision braking and throttle management to help avoid or mitigate front collisions.
Studies by IIHS found that EyeSight reduces rear-end crashes with injuries by a stunning 85% and cuts pedestrian-related injuries by 35%. EyeSight has also reduced pedestrian insurance claims by 41% according to the Highway Loss Data Institute.
Subaru aims to achieve zero fatal traffic accidents in their vehicles by 2030. The latest generation EyeSight has an even wider viewing angle and improved image software for enhanced performance. When paired with other tech like Blind Spot Detection, EyeSight can even automatically steer the vehicle to avoid collisions up to 50 mph.
EyeSight driver assist technology is available across all current U.S. Subaru models, and has proven itself as a world leader in collision avoidance and driver safety over nearly a decade on the road. Subaru continues to innovate and set new standards for preventative safety capabilities.
