Subaru‘s camera-based EyeSight safety system, which enables features like automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control, now has a third camera in top of the line Outback Touring models to improve its vision. The wide angle mono-camera works in conjunction with EyeSight’s two existing stereoscopic cameras to expand the system’s view and allows it to detect pedestrians and bicycles at intersections earlier and react more quickly.

They’re not the only cameras on the lookout, however. The Outback is also equipped with an infrared facial recognition system that reminds drivers to keep their eyes on the road with lights and increasingly loud sounds if they start to stray. It can also recognize exactly who is in the driver’s seat and greet them with personalized messages and reminders on the screen for the infotainment system, which now has standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration in all trims.
