Infrared Vision Comes to Cars

General Motors web site:

Night Vision uses an infrared technology to "light up" the road ahead. A special camera-like sensor in the grille picks up infrared energy (heat) being radiated from objects directly ahead, processes the data in real time, and translates it into a video image. The image is then projected onto your windshield, just to the left of center, through a Head-Up Display atop the instrument panel.
