Adasky CEO Declares Thermal Cameras The New Airbags
Israeli startup Adasky has developed a thermal camera system called Viper that can detect vehicles and pedestrians in the dark. The camera uses far infrared light waves to detect heat differences emitted by objects and converts the data into images. Adasky aims to improve emergency braking systems in autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles, as current sensors struggle to detect obstacles in low-ambient light environments. The company has secured $15 million in Series B funding and plans to build its first production plant in Israel to support the growing demand for its thermal camera systems. Adasky expects its cameras to be available in production vehicles by 2023 or 2024 at a price range of about $100 per sensor.

Helping cars see better at night is key to reducing pedestrian deaths
FLIR Systems, a thermal imaging company, is promoting its technology as a solution to improve pedestrian safety at night. The company conducted tests in Michigan that fused thermal sensing with radar, non-thermal cameras, and a computer network. The results showed promise, with the FLIR-equipped vehicle successfully avoiding heated targets designed to appear as pedestrians. In contrast, other test vehicles without FLIRs technology failed in nighttime testing. Thermal cameras have been pitched as a way to help driver assistance systems detect pedestrians and animals in challenging conditions. While the cost of thermal cameras may be a barrier, FLIRs competitor Adasky claims its small camera would cost less than $200. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently researching methods for testing the performance of advanced driver assistance systems in nighttime pedestrian scenarios.
