I'm currently considering a 2015 Subaru Forester which has an safety option called Eyesight.
The SUV has tiny cameras mounted in the windshield.
In the event of an emergency, (like a deer jumping in front of the car),
if the driver is too slow to react or doesn't apply the correct amount of pressure to brake,
the car will take over and make the decison.
The SUV also has a back-up camera and an additional back-up beeper.
Hopefully these take the stupid out of backing up.
Kind of Stepford Wifeish, but it's definitely the way of the future.
If anyone has the Eyesight feature, I'd love to hear their comments.
