Infrared thermal imaging technology plays an important role in the assistance driving system, not only enhancing the vehicle's perception capabilities but also providing additional safety assurance for driving. With the advancement of technology and the deepening of applications, infrared thermal imaging technology is expected to play a greater role in the field of intelligent driving in the future.

Infrared thermal imaging technology can provide clear imaging in low-light, rain, snow, smoke, dust, and foggy environments, effectively improving the vehicle's all-weather perception capabilities. It is highly sensitive to living beings and can accurately detect the presence of pedestrians or animals at night or in adverse weather conditions, providing timely warnings or avoidance to enhance driving safety. It can serve as an auxiliary vision for drivers, helping them perceive the surrounding environment in specific situations such as night driving, strong light exposure, rain and fog weather, and glare from oncoming traffic, thereby improving driving safety. It is not affected by environmental factors such as glare, fog, and smoke, and has strong anti-interference capabilities, enhancing the reliability of the assistance driving system. It can be integrated with data from other sensors such as cameras, radar, and lidar, improving the redundancy and fault tolerance of the autonomous driving system, and enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of decision-making.

Several car manufacturers have already begun to equip their new cars with infrared systems in large quantities, such as Dongfeng Mengshi and GAC Aion, indicating that infrared thermal imaging technology has a broad application prospect in the assistance driving system.
