Night Vision with pedestrian detection
The concept
Night Vision with pedestrian detection is a night vision system.
An infrared camera records the area in front of the vehicle and displays the image on the Control Display.
The picture is a heat image. The system has an integrated pedestrian detection function that detects pedestrians and cyclists. Warm objects that are similar in shape to human beings are detected by the system.
Personal responsibility
Night Vision cannot replace the driver's personal judgment of the visibility conditions and the traffic situation. The view ahead and the actual visibility conditions must always be the basis on which the vehicle speed is adjusted; otherwise, there is a risk to road safety.
