FLIR's thermal imaging technology improves nighttime driving safety PDF Print E-mail
FLIR Systems announced a price reduction to $2,495 for the PathFindIR for the after-market automotive community.  Due to an increase in volume related to rapid market adoption of the technology, FLIR is able to provide the PathFindIR at a lower price to consumers.

PathFindIR is the core thermal imager in BMW’s Night Vision nighttime driving aid. The PathFindIR’s thermal imager creates real-time video by detecting subtle differences in temperature, which the driver views from any in-dash or aftermarket display with an auxiliary video input.  To a thermal imager, warm objects appear white and cool objects appear black.  PathFindIR reduces the risks for anyone who drives at night by allowing them to see 4-times farther than with headlights.  

By allowing drivers to see so much farther, PathFindIR gives drivers more time to react to objects in front of their vehicle. Additionally, with PathFindIR drivers can see vehicles, pedestrians, and animals before they even enter the road, monitoring their activity as they approach the road from either side.

“By supplying thermal imaging systems to high-volume applications, FLIR can offer thermal cameras to other commercial applications at breakthrough prices,” said Andy Teich, President of FLIR’s Commercial Vision Systems division.
