The new Subaru Forester, one of the brand’s best-sellers in the US, made its debut at the New York International Auto Show today. With it comes EyeSight, Subaru’s driver-assist technology, and an interesting new safety feature that is totally new to the automaker’s lineup: facial recognition.

quote:

Dubbed DriverFocus, Subaru describes it as a “driver monitoring system that uses facial recognition software to identify signs of driver fatigue or driver distraction.” The feature, which the automaker claims is the first in the segment, can recognize up to five drivers and can remember their pre-set preferences for seat position, climate, and infotainment. DriverFocus comes standard in the most expensive Touring trim version of the Forester, the pricing of which was not immediately available.

Subaru makes a great and reliable car but they are not one I’d trust in pioneering technology like this.

So over what parts do you need to put the black tape? Also I wonder how sophisticated is the tech, could it tell the difference between fatigue and a disabled driver? Or even just a plain fugly person?

As the owner of a Subaru, I think should figure out how to build a flat four that doesn't eat head gaskets first.
