I was viewing a real player video about the new s class mercedes. it boasted a near infrared viewing system that had a camera mounted on the back of the rear view mirror anf a IR lamp to illuminate the forward view. Ther was a large video screen in the dash (black & white) They claimed viewing clearly at night 200 meters forward as opposed to the 50 meter limit of its convntional headlights.
I wonder if it would be possible to offer such an aftermarket package for the prius ( or a combo with the rear view aftermarket add on)-- I've already seen options offering video playback of movies on the forward screen- a real safety problem. But, a forward view of oncoming traffic to avoid animal collisions at night would add a safety benefit.
I wonder if near IR camera's (miniature) are on the market? An IR beam in the foglamp position would then be necessary and some way to attach it to the view screen so the forward view operated in D mode (not R)
Does this sound possible??
