Night Vision Technologies
recently i read an article about bmw adding a night vision feature to it's 7 series line of cars. bmw claims that its new 7 series is the first production car to feature a far infra-red night vision system, used in conjunction with the new high-beam "assist" function to make night driving safer. a thermal imaging camera covers a distance of up to 1000 feet in front of the vehicle to create an image of objects out of range of the headlights.
the more brilliantly the object the on the central monitor is displayed, the greater the warmth registered by the camera. pedestrians and animals would thus be the brightest areas of the image because of their high infra-red heat signature; they're also the most important things to concentrate on when driving responsibly.
