Honda's pedestrian warning system

OK, this might be an obligatory shot of a Japanese Honda car model, but she's not clapping those red-leathered hands for nothing. Honda just announced their development of the world's first pedestrian-warning system, named the Intelligent Night Vision System. The setup uses two far-infrared cameras on the front bumper to detect heat emmitting objects in the vehicle's path. The driver then receives visual and audio warnings in hopes they don't plow over that guy wandering in the middle of the road. The system will be available in the Honda Legend in Japan in the fall.
