http://www.welt.de/wissenschaft/article2143675/Autos_lernen_den_Fussgaenger_noch_besser_kennen.html

- Infraredcameras should "see" further
- this system should reduce the accidents rate about 8 %
- but praxis shows, that the driver ether concentrate on the display or the road
- this system will be improved, that it sees the pedestrian early anought and warns the driver
- you see yellow sihouettes of pedestrians on the monitor, as soon they enter the road, the cockpit shows you warning sign
- soon carsystems can also read the streetsigns
- also the system shoul coorporate with the tempomat and slow down the speed
