OLED Film Could Provide Cheap Night Vision For Cars

Posted by timothy on from the want-sunglasses-like-this dept.

thecarchik writes "Night vision systems are already available in the higher-end luxury sedans from companies like Toyota, Volvo, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. It's expensive technology that few drivers can afford, and at $4,000 for the system without a display, it's a pricey upgrade. That may all change soon, as DARPA-funded scientists have developed a cheap way to turn any infrared light into visible light with a thin film."

    You'll have excellent night vision as the car accelerates out of your control.

    If I could get underpriced labor by making pension promises I wouldn't have to keep, I could have pretty innovative products too.

    This little foray into cool night vision for a few ultra-rich came out of the hide of workers who had nowhere to go when the benefits they were promised got pissed away.

    Fuck GM. Fuck GM long, fuck GM hard. (Don't forget to mod this troll.)
