BDifficulty 2/5

What assistance can a night-vision system using a thermal camera and highlighting pedestrians or animals on a display provide?

Correct answer

Help identify pedestrians or animals in low light.

It can help detect and identify those potential hazards in low light. Range, recognised objects and warnings depend on the system and operating conditions. It cannot guarantee detecting everything or permit switching off required lights. Watch the road and keep speed low enough to react; the display does not replace driver attention. Some technologies also show other objects or vehicles, so that possibility cannot be ruled out generally.
