Israeli startup AdaSky plans to introduce a new type of sensor into the mix for driver-assist systems and self-driving cars. AdaSky's thermal imaging sensor relies on the heat radiated by people ...

At present, thermal cameras are found in a number of luxury passenger cars. Some high-end automakers, such as Porsche and BMW, already fit vehicles with thermal imaging sensors made by FLIR.

FLIR Systems’ thermal imaging sensor has been selected by tier-one automotive supplier, Veoneer, for their autonomous vehicle production contract with a top global automaker.

As thermal sensors detect a longer wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum versus visible cameras, the technology is unaffected by night or daylight in detecting and reliably classifying ...

Thermal cameras are too expensive to be used in cars. Microbolometer technology has already yielded megapixel sensors for defense use, but these would be too expensive for automotive applications.

So why would a car say it's 108 degrees outside when Monday's high in Dallas-Fort Worth was 8 degrees cooler? It's all about where the temperature sensors are placed, said Jim Champion, known as ...

And vice versa, If the outside temperature is 45 and you want it to be 72 in the car, it has to blast the heat for a while. Well, it sounds to me like your outside temperature sensor went rogue.

Veoneer to develop production self-drive car to feature Flir thermal sensors. Flir Systems has announced that its Boson-based thermal sensing technology has been selected by Veoneer, a tier-one ...

If you’ve ever looked at your car’s outside temperature display while idling in traffic on a nice summer day, you've probably noticed the display can vary quite a bit from reality.
