Now that the U.S. has fallen back to standard time, it means that it's getting darker outside earlier and for much longer as we head into winter. I know I'm a confident driver at night, but despite testing many of the best electric cars that have advanced safety features, there are still times when it's challenging. Frankly, my vision is getting worse every year, so that’s why I’ve been using a thermal camera made specifically for cars to make night time driving safer for me.
Thermal cameras aren't new to me, since I've used about a handful of different ones for phones that add telephoto abilities to see faraway subjects in the dark — along with a miniscule one that I keep attached on my keychain. However, the Thermal Master NV300 MAX uses the same tech, but it’s specifically tuned to detect hidden dangers you might not see while driving. I'm talking about foraging deer on the side of the road, pedestrians taking their puppers out for a casual post dinnertime walk, and other critters that might be lurking around.
