This target reflects our unwavering commitment to safety, not just for Subaru drivers and passengers, but for all road users, including pedestrians and cyclists.           

     

       

Four Pillars of Safety

       

To realize this vision, Subaru has developed a comprehensive safety strategy, focusing on four key areas:           

         

           
1. Primary Safety: Designing cars with enhanced visibility and ergonomics to prevent driver fatigue and ensure a safer driving experience.
           
2. Active Safety: Enhancing vehicle controllability to empower drivers to avoid potential hazards.
           
3. Preventive Safety: Implementing advanced technologies like EyeSight for pre-crash braking and collision avoidance.
           
4. Passive Safety: Creating robust vehicle structures and safety features to mitigate damage and protect occupants in the event of an accident.
         

         

By refining these areas, we aim to significantly reduce the rate of fatal traffic accidents.

     

       

Balancing Automation with Human Expertise

           

Our approach to safety technology balances the strengths of human drivers with the capabilities of advanced systems. Subaru believes in respecting what humans do best while entrusting vehicles with tasks that are challenging for drivers.
