Its an option on many cars today and its called by different names by different companies. Subaru calls it Eyesight, some call it adaptive cruise control.
Anyway I had a BBQ at my house Sat and 2 friends told us that the option saved them from an accident or serious injury.
The option will stop you if it senses you are to close to a vehicle in front of you and havent responded by hitting your breaks, it will slow you down or apply the breaks accordingly. It also will steer you back in your lane if you are drifting out of your lane, like falling asleep or unattentiveness.
One guy was on the highway and his rottweiller decided to jump up and start licking his neck, he turned and pushed the dog back and almost rear ended the car in front of him the Adaptive cruise saved him.
Another guys wife said she was totally wrong in trying to get her phone out of her purse and it brought her to a full stop before she hit a car in front of her that stopped for a light.
NOW MY WIFE wants it, sigh she always gets what she wants but I do not want to buy another vehicle right now, but like a good puppy im out there looking for another car.
I have a 2016 Nissan Rogue that I paid off 5 months ago, it has low mileage, garage kept and theres no reason to get rid of it, unless your wife wants you to I guess.....yes yes im whipped
So ive been looking for Small Suvs that have this feature, well surprise surprise, all the companies, except subaru only put them in their top of the line, which are stupidly expensive and have things that are ridiculous and I dont want.
Subaru is slick though, they have Eyesight in every model from base to the ultimate but if you want power seats you have to buy the Limited version, I wont have a car without power seats. So im back in the same boat.
She wants it because she says shes weary having to be so attentive while riding with me because im an idiot and I drive like a cop, im always looking at both sides of the street and never straight ahead. I promised id change, she doesnt believe me.
So could someone start a Gofundme page for me
