Hong Kong, July 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As road safety takes center stage in 2025, Robofinity announces the release of its cutting-edge InsightDrive Car Thermal Night Vision system, redefining how drivers tackle darkness, glare, fog, and night-time dangers. With traditional night vision systems falling short under harsh conditions, Robofinity InsightDrive is becoming a must-have for every vehicle.
Imagine driving in rain, snow, or at night when traditional night vision systems let you down. These devices rely on low light or infrared fill light. They work okay in dark environments, but under strong city lights or when facing oncoming high beams, they often fail due to overexposure.
Car Thermal Night Vision: Why Every Vehicle Needs It in 2025
Traditional night vision systems rely on light—they falter in fog, rain, or the blinding glare of oncoming traffic. But Robofinity InsightDrive’s car thermal night vision uses heat detection, offering unmatched visibility where other systems fail.
Every year, 1.35 million lives are lost to traffic accidents globally—and 30%-40% happen at night. High beam glare, fog, and darkness are major contributors. Robofinity InsightDrive offers a revolutionary alternative. By sensing infrared heat signatures rather than light, it detects pedestrians, animals, and vehicles even in zero visibility—and alerts drivers before it’s too late.
What Makes Robofinity InsightDrive the Game-Changer?
See Through Fog, Darkness, and Glare—No Light Needed
Unlike regular night vision, car thermal night vision doesn’t rely on visible light. It detects heat from people, animals, and vehicles, displaying them clearly even in total darkness, fog, or heavy rain.

Robofinity InsightDrive uses real-time AI to distinguish between humans, animals, and objects. It alerts drivers early, helping prevent crashes—even when you’re tired or distracted.
How It Outperforms Other Safety Technologies
High beams: Standard halogen high beams light 80-120 meters ahead. Car thermal night vision detects objects 200 meters away. It doesn’t blind other drivers.
LiDAR: Relies on laser reflections. In strong light, backlight, or total darkness, its performance may suffer. In contrast, car thermal night vision detects infrared radiation. It works day, night, in tunnels, or shadows.
Traditional night vision: Works in pitch black but overexposes in well-lit cities. Car thermal night vision is all-weather. It needs no external light—just object infrared. It works on moonless nights, foggy dawns, or in glare. It spots dangers early, day or night.
Robofinity InsightDrive stands out. It has an advanced Car Thermal Imaging System.
Its AI recognition is 95% accurate—almost no misidentifications. Its detection range reaches 656 feet (two football fields). It alerts you before you see hazards, giving time to brake or steer. That’s next-level safety.
