Automotive safety remains an important concern for both consumers and governments around the world. Vehicle crashes continue to account for a large number of lives lost each year, despite considerable improvements in occupant protection, and a disproportionate percentage of these collisions occur in the dark. What are manufacturers doing to help reduce the number of collisions at night? Which of the different applications offers the best performance, and which are likely to achieve significant sales in the long term?

This study provides an analysis of global market trends, technological evaluations of different approaches used by system developers, and discussion of existing product announcements. Night vision and adaptive headlight system installation forecasts are provided globally, by region, through 2016.
