NIGHTDRIVER VEHICLES
Despite all the automotive safety developments over the years,
drivers still face a greater risk of having an accident at night. Even with high-beam
headlights it is often difficult to see many of the hazards easily avoided in
daylight: parked or stalled cars, pedestrians, animals. With NIGHTDRIVER, a driver
can detect road hazards, pedestrians, and animals well beyond the range of vehicle
headlights. Early detection of hazards allows better reaction time for better
driving decisions.
NIGHTDRIVER is an affordable, revolutionary thermal imaging
camera system that puts drivers in a class of their own. NIGHTDRIVER is currently
available as an aftermarket option for the HUMMER H1 and H2.
Although Nighttime driving represents 25% of total driving:
- The odds of dying in a car crash are 5 times greater at
night
- 55% of all driving fatalities occur after dark
- 62% of pedestrian fatalities occur at night
- Over 300,000 animal/vehicle crashes occur annually in the
US
