How It Works
In your neighborhood, children cross the street without checking for traffic. In the darkness ahead, a man changes a flat tire. Two deer stand on the highway – just beyond your headlights reach. Each of these scenarios is an accident waiting to happen- or to be avoided. NIGHTDRIVER lets you see up to five times farther than your regular headlights at night. With NIGHTDRIVER you can avoid objects that would otherwise not be seen until the last moment.
TECHNOLOGY
Breaking new ground, the NIGHTDRIVER up-fitter system is the world's first automotive thermal imaging driving aid of its kind. Be one of the first to have the unique ability to See the Unseen. Originally developed for the military, NIGHTDRIVER technology measures heat signatures and creates an electronic image of everything in view. The system converts these temperature differences into an electronic signal, which it displays like a real-time, black-and-white TV image of people, animals or debris in the road is displayed and easily viewed by the driver.. This image is projected onto the windshield just below your line of sight in the form of a head up display (HUD). The image is available at a glance and won’t interfere with regular driving practices. Because the system detects heat adn not light, bright oncoming headlight glare is not a problem for drivers using NIGHTDRIVER. Although NIGHTDRIVER is a high-tech imaging system, the installation is easy and the technology has been used successfully for years on Cadillac and HUMMER H1 & H2 vehicles.
BENEFITS
In fact, after a short time, you’ll begin using it naturally just like your rearview mirror. This revolutionary driving system is now available to equip all types of vehicles.
SEE THE UNSEEN
- Increase reaction time to avoid objects in front of car.
- See up to five times farther than with low beam headlights alone.
- Exit your vehicle more securely by previewing the area before leaving your car.
- Have a clear view of hazards and obstacles such as joggers, bicyclists, pedestrians, animals and debris on the road.
- See beyond glare of oncoming headlights to overcome momentary blindness.
- Detect road edges better to increase your confidence.
- See more in all lighting conditions from dark residential areas and country roads to city streets and highways.
SAFETY
NIGHTDRIVER is a thermal imaging camera system that provides nighttime visibility of people, objects or potential road hazards that cannot be seen with the naker eye or with headlights. NIGHTDRIVER allows users to see up to fice times farther than standard headlights at night. Consider the facts: While only 25% of driving takes place at night -
The odds of dying in a car crash are 5 times greater at night.
55% of driving fatalities occur after dark.
62% of pedestrian fatalities occur at night.
At 60 MPH, your headlights give you only 3.5 seconds to react. But with NIGHTDRIVER, you receive up to an extra 15 seconds to react to potential dangers.
Over 300,000 animal/vehicle crashes occur annually in the US.
