It seems like virtually every automaker is rushing to develop autonomous driving vehicles, but Subaru is taking a different approach and focuses on making its existing technology better.
During a recent demonstration of the company's upgraded EyeSight system, Subaru technical research center general manager Tetsuo Onuki told Reuters: "We're not aiming to develop driverless cars. What we're trying to do is make driving safer for people."
Nevertheless, the automaker has just introduced several key updates to its EyeSight system in Japan. The system will be available with a new Touring Assist function which promises to "greatly reduce driver burden" by taking control of acceleration, braking, and steering while traveling on highways. It operates by using Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Tracing Control and a stereo camera to monitor lane markings as well as vehicles ahead of the car.
The upgraded EyeSight system will become standard equipment on new Levorg and WRX S4, which will be released in Japan this summer.
