Subaru to start offering automatic braking

Subaru will soon be releasing a new automatic braking technology to some of its’ vehicles, although which cars will get the safety feature isn’t yet available.

The safety mechanism, called New EyeSight, will work by using two front-facing cameras that will detect potential collisions and alert the driver with an audible warning. If no action is taken by the driver the car will apply the brakes itself in order to lessen the severity of the collision. If the car is traveling at 18.6 mph or less the car will be able to stop itself completely and avoid the accident altogether.

Also, thanks to the two cameras Subaru’s adaptive cruise control system will now be able to operate in the full speed range.
