That is a FLIR camera. Same thing that is on police helicopters. It sees via heat. Definitely very cool.

It seemed great. Then i got to the last papragraph:

"Unfavourable weather conditions such as thick fog can limit the function of High-Beam Assist. Other road users with poor lighting – such as pedestrian, cyclists, riders etc. cannot be reliably detected by the system. In poorly lit towns, for example, the high beam should be manually deactivated."

What is up with this? I thought the benefit was to detect pedestrians, cyclists, animals, etc effectively. Then they say this all the way at the end?

Cool feature. It is offered by Honda in Japan on RL some other vehicles.
