Night vision is a safety feature in cars that aids the driver’s vision in low-light conditions beyond the reach of the headlights. Front-facing cameras transmit night vision images of the road ahead to the instrument cluster, head-up display, or infotainment monitor. Night vision constructs real-time images by amplifying the ambient light with infrared technology making for a brighter view. Night vision can use thermographic imaging to pick up body heat, which helps detect people and animals near or on the road.
This technology is helpful for people who have trouble or concerns with driving at night. See also forward collision warning.
