What is the purpose of night vision systems?

[VonKinsley]

The functions of night vision systems are as follows: 1. Night vision systems enable drivers to identify test dummies wearing light-colored clothing at a distance of approximately 210 meters by the roadside, which is about 41 meters earlier than with xenon headlights. When pedestrians are dressed in black clothing, the detection distance can be extended by about 92 meters. This means that using night vision assistance systems can improve nighttime driving safety by more than 125%. Additionally, having full awareness of potential hazards can significantly reduce the psychological stress of driving at night, making the driving experience more comfortable and relaxed. 2. At night, night vision systems can display potential hazards beyond the range of headlights on the windshield, thereby expanding the driver's field of vision and preventing traffic accidents. Night vision systems also help drivers see the road ahead clearly when encountering glare from oncoming vehicles at night. 3. Night vision systems cannot replace headlights; they are merely auxiliary devices. Due to their high cost, in the United States, they are only sold as optional features for luxury vehicles.
