A new night vision system has been released inside select models of BMW vehicles. The image is displayed on a screen inside the cabin, in the center console above the air condition ventilation. The images are crisp and bright and really show more detail than normal vision ever good.

With a range of nearly 300 meters (1000 feet) it really just might be the next best thing in automobile safety.

My question is will driving with this system make it safer, considering that your eyes are now focused on this screen rather than on operating the vehicle... I don't know how safe this might actually turn out to be.

I think a windshield transparent overlay might be even safer than a screen version. But that might be a few years coming.
