A simple radar style display screen shown on a GPS system or in car computer (on most dashboards/consoles) in new cars. The Car Radar will operate by displaying the position and movement of any heat releasing 'body' within 5 metres of the car.
This would allow the concerned driver to detect children
near the road or in the car parks around schools, joggers or cyclists using or crossing the road and pedestrians in general. For the more sensitive driver that finds it difficult to cope with the guilt attached to maiming or killing wildlife on roads this could also be an extra 'eye' on the road.

[eyes] not fully effective though - as results show |
|

and probably even less effective if the
driver is gawping at his display screen. |

This is a great idea. Car Infrared night vision systems already exist, of course. |

At just 30mph, you will cover those 5 metres in a little under 0.4 of a second. I hope you have good reactions and even better brakes. |
