Subaru has announced its first foray into the hands-free driving era. The first model to benefit is the Outback, which recently entered a new generation. The automaker’s EyeSight driver-assistance suite has already been available across Subaru’s lineup, but the Outback’s new Hands-Free Assist Driving system is far more advanced. As with other hands-free systems like Ford’s BlueCruise, Subaru’s system supports hands-free driving on most interstate highways. It can be used at speeds of up to 85 mph (5 mph higher than BlueCruise), which exceeds the speed limit in most states across the country.
