What is Audi A7's Night Vision Assistant and how does it work?

The new Audi A7 is equipped with a Night Vision Assistant, but what exactly is it and how does it function?

The Night Vision Assistant in the Audi A7 is a thermal imaging system that utilizes an infrared camera to detect heat emissions from other vehicles, animals, or pedestrians up to 300 meters away. It then displays these objects on the car's 12.3-inch instrument cluster in real-time.

With the Night Vision Assistant, the Audi A7 can distinguish between different objects based on the heat they emit, providing a clear warning to the driver if there is a potential collision risk. It's a great safety feature for night-time driving.

The Night Vision Assistant also includes intelligent high-beam control, which automatically switches between high beams and low beams when oncoming traffic or objects are detected. This avoids blinding others on the road, while also ensuring maximum visibility for the driver.
