Not content with being "passive" - ​​Subaru's complete active safety configuration

With the development of society, people attach great importance to life. As the most common means of commuting, cars naturally put life safety at the top of the list when designing. Active safety and passive safety are the basis of vehicle safety, providing safety protection for passengers at all times.

Compared to passive safety, which aims to minimize occupant injuries when an accident occurs, active safety aims to avoid accidents as much as possible, thereby preventing personal injury.

As an automobile company committed to pursuing the ultimate safety, Subaru has a very good reputation in the industry for its active and passive safety technologies. At the beginning of vehicle design, the active and passive safety was upgraded to the highest level, and through continuous innovation, it has successfully achieved good results in this field. Compared with passive safety, which is mainly dominated by improving the body structure technology, active safety is more about using technical means and technological configuration to improve risk avoidance capabilities or identify dangers in advance, which is exactly the technology that Subaru has focused on breaking through recently. So what kind of "black technology" does Subaru use in active safety? This time we might as well explore it.

Among them, the most famous is the EyeSight driver assistance system. After years of research and development, this powerful active safety system has become another new business card of Subaru after full-time four-wheel drive and horizontally opposed engines. Through the image viewfinders set on both sides of the rearview mirror inside the car, the road conditions ahead can be captured in real time in a three-dimensional manner during driving. Compared with the monocular cameras used by some automobile manufacturers, the binocular cameras equipped in Subaru's models are more accurate in judging the moving speed and direction of objects in front, which has become an effective source of information acquisition. When an emergency occurs in front during driving, effective evasive measures can be taken quickly through accurate analysis. Because of its appearance, Subaru's models equipped with this system have many active safety functions such as active cruise function at full speed, anti-collision braking system, alarm prompts, etc. When an emergency occurs, the vehicle can also remind the driver to take corresponding actions to avoid accidents. A more advanced point is that if the driver still does not take corresponding measures or the braking force is not in place at this time, this system can also assist in improving the braking efficiency according to the situation, and even stop the vehicle. Statistical data also show that with the timely intervention of the EyeSight driving assistance system, the probability of rear-end collisions can be effectively reduced.

In addition to avoiding danger, the "early warning" capability of the EyeSight driver assistance system also has certain advantages. The technology to prevent misoperation will intervene in time when the driver accidentally steps on the accelerator too deeply during the starting phase, which is a boon for "newbies". The alarm prompt technology will promptly remind the driver to correct the direction when the vehicle deviates from the lane due to fatigue and other reasons. If the driver still does not take action to correct the trajectory, the vehicle will intervene and automatically correct the route to ensure that the vehicle is within the driving lane to prevent lane-changing accidents. It has to be said that models such as the Outback with the EyeSight driver assistance system have raised active safety to a new level, making safety begin to become intelligent.

Of course, although the EyeSight driver assistance system is the biggest highlight, it is by no means the only highlight. In accordance with Subaru's brand style, it will do its best to apply safety configurations to its models. Safety designs such as the design to reduce blind spots, automatic lighting control system, vehicle dynamic control system (VDC), active torque vectoring system (ATV), driver monitoring system, and high-strength ring frame will keep you alert and protect you during your travel. Through the blessing of various technological configurations, the vehicle becomes another driver during the driving process, always monitoring possible safety hazards around and taking evasive measures at any time.

The perfect active safety configuration makes Subaru's models have a greater safety configuration advantage in various market segments and sets an example. In addition, the EyeSight driving assistance system allows more people to experience the excellence of intelligent technology and takes the safety of automobiles to a new level.
