I had a 2018 Outback with EyeSight. I had to get rid of it because I couldn’t stand all the beeps when driving. The straw that broke the camel’s back was my trip to the mountains and the lane departure beep was going off every few seconds while I was driving down the hill. You can turn it off but then you have to look at an amber light on your dash. Then there’s the rice paper thin windshield that Subaru uses because of EyeSight. You will be replacing them often, so lower your comp deductible to $100 or less.

You can turn off the warning beep permanently and just have the feedback

Does that light still blinks then, what he was saying?
I think the light was in because he turned the system off entirely. Mine has a light too but it doesn’t blink.
Each system is different

Oh FFS, so it keeps light on bcs. you turned system off?
So basically they built vehicle that is constantly trying to go on your nerves?
Not sure what you are saying it physically keeps you between the lines but you can easily steer over it. It shows you where the lines are and you see where you are with respect to the lines. Again you can have it beep or not.

No, I am talking about actual feedback through steering.
I can see lanes on my own, and can keep car between them. But what I hate is absolute absence of steering feedback in these Japanese econ boxes and as soon as you take your eyes off the road bcs. kid did something in the back, car is all over the place.
Instead of eyesight proper steering and tracking would do wonders. And one doesn’t need to replace windshield on yearly basis.
I think that is standard across the industry. If I turn off traction control or blind spot monitoring or any other assistance then a light appears
I leave the systems on but have gone through and turned off audible warnings where I can. Blind spot and rear cross traffic remain audible but for a good reason. My HUD is my visual resource for blind spot and lane departure.

TC yes. But not blind spot monitor and other nannies. When I turn off blind spot on Toyota it does nothing. It is off. I know on BMW F30 when one turns off emergency braking, lane assistant etc. it does nothing on cluster. If one turns off TC and ESP, yes then there is warning.
From my experiences with a few ADAS - EyeSight, Mercedes Pre-Safe Plus, Toyota Safety Sense P/Lexus Safety System 2.0, Chevy Safety Assist and Honda Sensing, the Subaru and Mercedes system are the most “transparent”. The Lexus version of Toyota Safety Sense is aggressive and can be annoying - I suspect it’s tuned for the 60+ crowd with diminishing spatial awareness. Chevy Safety Sense is abrupt - LA traffic did it few favors but I found it’s a touch too sensitive in “normal” mode.
Were you able to disable the backup camera?

Quite obviously, yes. Why not give it a unique name? Honda calls it Sensing.
Yes same system and auto makers tweak to needs. Daughters friends parent sells the US born tech to majority car makers.
I would argue that it is more than just a name and series of features, my opinion and that of many others that have used and even independently tested it versus other comparable safety systems have found it to be superior in many ways. At this point the only thing that I do not like about Subaru Eyesight more compared to the competition is it's lane centering feature.
For ADAS, Intel’s Israeli operations(MobilEye) provides a majority of forward vision - but it also means the T1 suppliers can use an COTS SOC(from a fabless supplier or Chinese supplier like Huawei’s HiSilicon or AllWinner) with a commodity CMOS/CCD camera. The camera is integrated by either the windshield supplier or a 3rd party like Vuteq with a sequenced windshield.
Conti provides a majority of BLIS/BSM to the OEMs.
This is a common complaint about adaptive cruise control and the answer is you're following too closely. Remember driver's ed, you're supposed to leave a 3 second gap to the car in front of you (99% of people on the highway don't).
I really enjoy adaptive cruise on the highway, but then again, most people say I drive like an old man.
Setting the adaptive cruise to drive closer to the vehicle in front might prevent lane changers from cutting in less often but you have to have the confidence that the car will stop in time. In the couple of times where my system applied the brakes my foot was already headed for or on the brake pedal but the system was quicker than me.
The other thing to consider is that slamming on the brakes in a close quarters situation might get you rear ended. The system can’t take care of the traffic behind us.
Thomas from Autogefühl on YouTube had a suggestion which I have applied on my car. Set the adaptive cruise length to one spot longer than the middle setting. That has worked for me in the years I have owned the car. Again, if traffic is that heavy then I don’t activate the cruise anyway.
I have it but I'm very picky about when I use it. As far as ACC goes, it depends on what kind of mood I'm in. If I'm in the mood to be annoyed by floaters then I'll change it to non-ACC mode and just use it as regular cruise. If I feel more relaxed I'll leave ACC on. I was able to use Carista to change the default following distance to the minimum and I find that sufficient.
It also has essentially self-dsriving mode, though it will warn you after about 10 seconds and disengage after about 15-20 seconds of not touching the wheel. But it does a great job on the highway and is very nice on long distance trips. You can just keep a light grip on the wheel and let the car handle the fine corrections. It reduces mental tiredness and strain after hours of driving, it lets you focus on the most important things, watching for hazards, other vehicles etc. It's nice to have to engage periodically for a while for a short "rest". And yeah if traffic is that heavy I just don't use cruise control at all. On I-95 between the Delaware Memorial Br and the south side of DC I pretty much never touch the cruise control
