I can turn off the eyesight feature. Can you confirm whether the other driver had theirs activated?

Didn’t know it had the capacity until I looked at claim and saw the actual make. We have same insurance, no one injured, my vehicle not damaged at all due to tire being slightly wider than any other part of the side of the vehicle. Didn’t call police for those reasons.
Driver said to me. I was in your blind spot. I said. You were.

I imagine it will play in how it resolves. I just don’t know how yet.


Is it supposed to detect something coming in to the lane if it is turned on? I couldn’t come up with that answer in the articles and info I read.

And WHY, in this age of extreme technology, do autos have BLIND SPOTS?
That's inexcusable in my book.

I rode in an auto or two with some warning sensors, but I don't know if they cover blind spots.
Motion? Proximity? Blind Spot?
Anyone?

I briefly had a loaner Subaru with eyesight, but since I live in the foothills, with countless narrow winding 2-lane roads, it was a complete pain in the ass.

My two cents worth.

Today! Thanks for the reminder.
Two cents well spent! 😉

There are large and small in the same pack.
I put the larger one on the passenger side (because it's farther away) and the smaller on the driver side.

And I put them low, where I normally don't look (because it's only road)

I think I made the right decisions.

They say they're removable, in case you want to adjust, but I didn't feel the need.

Safe Driving!!

Some just light up on the mirror; others beep as well.

You have affirmed my intuition that they are not as reliable as I am with my own mirror and neck. Thank you. I'm sorry this happened.

It also will engage the brakes if the Subi driver is approaching an object too quickly. It is not there to move the Subi out of your way. You are expecting Eyesight to force the Subi to swerve out of your way, possibly into oncoming traffic. There is no way I would want my Subaru Outback to do that.

I am just learning about this technology.

No need to come at me with that.

This was unavoidable at best and I had and have no expectations of that technology. However. At the very least if it has breaking technology it could maybe engage brakes.

It’s a conversation about an accident in which one vehicle has driver assist. Period.

Choose to tell me what I expected with post 41???

Wow. Just wow!

I happen to have a Subaru and know how Eyesight works. I was just trying to give you information. It’s because of people like you that I don’t post much.

I didn't understand how the Subaru was supposed to move out of the way for someone else's lane change. What if there was a car or jersey barrier or something on the other side?

That said, cars should never just drive next to another car.

It is there to slow you down when you come up behind something on the road. It also alerts when something is in the mirrors blind spots. Quite a few cars I have rented recently, I don't own a car, have alerts that show in the mirrors. Many work when you hit your turn signal. None have warned me about another driver's potential lane change.

An aside. Wheels need to be covered by fenders to be legal. They protect other cars from debris and stones which can be tossed from the open tires.
