Night Vision For The Masses: NightRide Helps Keep Drivers Safe
Sometimes even with the best of headlights, it’s impossible to see everything at night.Â
A new product called NightRide uses advanced infrared technology to help drivers see after dark. Â
The NightRide unit comes with two different displays, including a “fighter pilot” style heads-up display.Â
There’s no doubt about it. Driving at night is risky business. Throw in visually-impaired drivers, fatigue from the long work day, and rush hour traffic and the odds are further against you. In fact, the National Safety Council finds that 50 percent of traffic deaths happen at night. The developers of NightRide considered statistics like these when they went to work on the innovative plug-and-play device that utilizes far-wave military-grade infrared technology. Beyond Headlights
NightRide is essentially a thermal camera that allows drivers to see well beyond the range of standard headlights, providing additional visibility in darkness and during severe weather. The unit is designed to detect things like deer, pedestrians, and black ice at night, and during rainy, foggy, and snowy conditions.
?The driving force behind NightRide is our desire to empower people to drive at night with total peace of mind,? said Shawn Groce, Founder of Wesa, the company behind NightRide. ?Collisions with animals are costing Americans $1 billion each year.”
