Norwich,VT. April 29, 2012 – Subaru’s Unique Driving Assist System “EyeSight”, won the Prize for Science and Technology, Development Category, in the 2012 Commendation for Science and Technology by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. “The Commendation for Science and Technology” is to honor those who have made noteworthy contributions either to the research and development of science and technology, or to the promotion of public understanding of science and technology. The Car Store is proud to offer such an intelligent technological advancement to our customers in the 2013 new model year line-up.
The EyeSight system as a next-generation safety technology and developed the original stereo camera technology, using two CCD cameras. It was the first device ever to use stereo camera technology to provide the driver many safety assistance features such as an advanced, safer “Pre-Collision Braking Control” that stops the vehicle if it detects the risk of frontal collision, thereby avoiding the collision or reducing collision damage. In addition, FHI successfully developed EyeSight at low cost by using one sensor which not only controls the driving support system but also measures the distance, the speed difference and the relative positions between in front of the vehicle and driving car. Since its introduction in Japan, this user-friendly device has been highly praised with a good balance between its affordable pricing and excellent utility.
