I work on Subarus for a living, and what I can say from profession experience is that Eyesight WILL NOT work all the time. There are certain instances that will temporarily halt system operation, or if the vehicle experiences a fault set in pretty much any module, ECM, TCM, VDC, etc., the system will not operate. This is a stereo-optic camera system that needs both cameras within operating parameters to function.
Also, in professional experience, people don’t tend to look at their owners manuals, most take them out and store them at home for whatever reason. Most questions about any of these systems can be answered in those books and I’m willing to bet that people just don’t understand how these systems behave, what their limitations are and what their operating parameters are.
I own a 2021 Outback Touring XT, does the eyesight system do stuff I think is pretty stupid like start braking when the car in front of me is taking an off ramp? Yeah, it’s frustrating, but as long as I increase the following distance in adaptive cruise to match vehicle speed, it doesn’t happen at all.
