when night falls on this years Le man 24hr race a new innovation from Cadillac will make its debut..night vision.
night vision is a revelutionary device that will help the drivers through the long night section of the event by having a screen in front of the steering wheel which will show infra red heat on the screen so drivers will be able to spot obstacles like other cars that may have crashed ..freshly dropped oil or hot car parts so they have a better chance of avoiding any of it.
dont know how well this system will work but it sure sounds exciting and im sure in some small way it will help the drivers as they fly through the night hoping they run across nothing.
