Night Vision Plus System
Like the existing Night Vision gadget first spotted on the 2009 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Night Vision Plus provides a high-contrast image of the road immediatley ahead of the vehicle. This new system now intelligently analyses the image to identify and highlight pedestrians on the screen.
An infared camera mounted behind the windscreen peers out at the road ahead, and displays on a high-res display in front of the driver, detecting whether objects are stationary or moving from a distance of up to 150m away which is three times further than conventional headlights. At the same time, however, they do not dazzle oncoming road users.
The idea behind the gadget is to reduce road fatalities involving vehicles and pedestrians. Allowing the driver to take appropriate action at an early stage considerably reduces the risk of accidents.
