DO NIGHT OWLS HAVE INFRA-RED OR HEAT-SENSING EYEBALLS?
The night vision system developed for the military is being introduced for upscale automobiles. A heat sensing camera is placed in the bumper or on the back of the rearview mirror to help drivers see beyond the range of regular headlights. A black and white image is projected onto the windshield or instrument panel. The system costs about $2,000 and up, and was first offered by General Motors in the Cadillac Deville, and is now available in the Lexus SUV, and will soon be offered by Mercedes-Benz and BMW. Advantage for urban drivers is in well lit cities is probably nil, but for people living in wooded areas inhabited by animals roaming the roads, the feature could be invaluable. Of course, having a camera embedded in the bumper makes for a very expensive replacement if it is damaged in a fender-bender. Be careful parking.
