Where I drive (upstate New York), there’s a significant danger of deadly collisions with deer, which overpopulate the area. They’re especially difficult to detect (until it’s too late) at night.
Those infra-red (or whatever they are) glasses used in the movies, and by the military? Use the technology
in windshields for avoidance of warm-blooded creatures crossing the road. I imagine seeing, around the bend, color-outlined deer-shapes, allowing the driver to adjust speed and heading until the danger is passed.
Precise implementation of this technology is not known to me. Anybody else?

Night Vision technology has already been implemented by GM. Since the 2000 model year the Cadillac DeVille has had the option of adding a Night Vision system. The system uses an advanced infrared camera and a HUD (head-up display). Unfortunately It's only available in the DeVille and Being a Cadillac it doesn't come cheep(Over $50k). For more information see the [link]. |
