concept

The document describes a night vision system that combines sensors operating in the visible range, near infrared and far infrared. All this is needed not by the driver, but by autonomous control systems in order to better navigate the road in poor lighting or in its complete absence.

In particular, the corresponding set of sensors, according to the patent, can increase visibility up to 200 meters, which will have a beneficial effect on traffic safety.

Of course, this is just a patent, but some production cars already have night vision systems, so Apple may well equip its car with something like that.
