From the article about 2/3's of the way down: QUOTE FLIR Systems, Inc. makes a thermal-imaging camera, an option on BMW's 6-series sedans, with a new pedestrian-detection feature. When the camera detects a heat source in the shape of a human being, the on-board computer alerts the driver by highlighting the pedestrian in yellow on the dashboard screen. |

Only good if you can entice one to walk out in front of the vehicle. This has been tried before with Cadillac, I am not sure how well it worked out though.
