Automakers around the world evaluate the functionality of autonomous driving systems using levels approved by SAE International (Association of Automotive Engineers). For example, Subaru has an EyeSight system, but Eiji Shibata, who oversees its development, says the company is more focused on reducing accidents and fatalities than on achieving a fully self-driving car. Subaru is now preparing a new generation of EyeSight driver assistance system based on artificial intelligence. It will appear in cars from 2025.
The company claims that vehicles equipped with EyeSight are 40% less likely to be involved in pedestrian accidents than vehicles without it, and 16% less likely to be rear-ended. Notably, unlike many competitors, Subaru is in no hurry to implement lidar into its security systems. According to the company’s management, a combination of artificial intelligence and stereo cameras is more effective. Subaru believes that such cameras are better than lidars, they create three-dimensional images and analyze objects from different angles. Artificial intelligence complements the system by interpreting complex objects, such as an object lying on the road, or poorly visible dividing lines.
In addition to the new generation EyeSight, Subaru is also working on a car parking system, which will be another new direction for the company. According to statistics, parking accidents account for a third of all traffic accidents, so this issue is a priority for Subaru.
In 2020, Subaru introduced an advanced version of EyeSight X technology in an updated Levorg station wagon for the Japanese market. It allows you to completely shift the control of the car to the autonomous driving system. EyeSight tries to anticipate accidents before they happen to help prevent them.
