Windshield to highlight deer

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

Three times I've been in a car when it hit a deer. Once I was the driver. Animals on the road is the one thing that makes me nervous about driving at night. Turns out General Motors is working on a windshield that will highlight these animals — and highlight the road itself as well. 

An Associated Press article describes the idea in these words: "For example, during a foggy drive, a laser projects a blue line onto the windshield that follows the edge of the road. Or if infrared sensors detect a person or animal in the driver's path during a night drive, its outline is projected on the windshield to highlight its location."

The article says this feature is a few years from being perfected, but I look forward to someday buying a car that can help me see animals on the road or in the ditches. The target market for these windshields is senior drivers, but I think we could all benefit.
