Mercedes and BMW have announced that their future flagship models will include a night vision system to improve visibility at night. The system is infra red based, so warm objects (such as people and animals) will theoretically be clearly visible from great distances.

What do people think? Will it prevet crashes and save lives? Or will it be just another distraction for the driver?

think both.... it would be good to identify objects easier in the nite, but the con i think would be that since its an electronic device, wouldnt it "lag" abit b4 the it comes on the visual for the driver to see and also the screen quality must be quite good since its quite a small screen....

also another project for them in car entertainment tweakers to play with... mb ill watch the game whilst im behind the wheel ey?

that is waaaaaaay cool!!! a better version i saw was a HUD style in a new honda (I think), not that we'd see it here for a few years.

That would be absolutely priceless for living out here, you'd spot roo's a mile away! wonder how long before there are aftermarket versions on ebay lol. I think the lag would be negligable. basically the same as night vision on a video camera, all it does is sees a slightly different colour spectrum. I want one!

It wouldnt lag, i mean the systems that are in most military vehicles are electronic, they sure dont lag, if they did a helicopter pliot might find themself in a mountain before they saw it coming....

I think its a good idea, 5 years time from now they'll probablly be in every commodore and falcon.

you don't get "lag" with a system like this. I have Infrared CCTV cameras around my house and its instant :)

Hondas ones are infrared/heat sensitive, ie. all monotoned and green in looks.

But yeah, these would be good for coppers also, as he can cruise around and knows who's been canning their cars, and they days of hidding in the dark are over, lol. not that I encourage doing a runner.haha.

thats all we need. cops being allowed to get people for speeding/thrashing their car, using their judgement on how hot a car should be... :cheers:

they already have this in Hummers apparently in the states. Ive seen this a few times on TV and stuff and as for lag i dont think there would be much. take a video camera for example, its instant you know wat i mean. and like, technology these days...i would say its more likely to predict the future than lag lol

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
