Peugeot increases the safety of its fleet with Night Vision

In the automotive industry, safety is an unavoidable priority: many measures are becoming mandatory, and many others are recommended to maximise it. In this context, Peugeot stands out as a leading brand that combines innovation and technology to guarantee safety down to the last detail on every model. Its vehicles are not only examples of design and efficiency, but also of advances that transform the way we experience driving. One of the areas in which Peugeot has invested considerably is the development of advanced safety and driver-assistance systems, especially when it comes to night-time driving and on isolated roads.

In the 21st century, technology and driving are merging in ways we never imagined, to deliver the best driving sensations. Peugeot vehicles are not only means of transport, but also platforms that incorporate cutting-edge systems. In particular, its range has adopted level 2 autonomous driving, where the driver and the machine share the task of handling the vehicle. This has been made possible thanks to the ingenious Peugeot i-Cockpit® driving position, a system that helps us when parking, maintaining safe distances or preventing collisions.

In a world where summer nights become a pleasure, night-time road journeys increase significantly because of less sun, heat and traffic. Peugeot once again wants to get ahead by offering cutting-edge technology. This time it has taken a step forward by incorporating its Night Vision technology, a system that uses an infrared camera to detect living beings around the vehicle in low-visibility conditions or in complete darkness. The ability to anticipate obstacles, pedestrians, cyclists and even wild animals on the road is a feature that makes night-time driving safety stand out.

New systems for greater safety

But safety is not limited to the early detection of hazards. Peugeot has designed a set of systems that work together to offer a safe and comfortable driving experience. Speed limit sign recognition and automatic speed adaptation to those limits, as well as the lane-keeping assistant, are just a few examples of how the brand anticipates the needs of the modern driver. Driver fatigue has also been considered, especially on long journeys. The driving time alert system suggests necessary breaks, ensuring the driver stays alert at all times.

The Drive Assist function is another technological gem that characterises Peugeot vehicles. Semi-autonomous driving on motorways and expressways is possible thanks to the combination of lane-keeping assistance and the Lane Position Assist (LPA). For those moments when the driver’s attention may wane, an unintentional lane departure warning system comes into action, providing a vital reminder.

Driving safety is a constant commitment at Peugeot, and this is reflected in its range of systems that reduce the risk of collision. The Distance Alert function and the automatic emergency braking system (Active Safety Brake) are tangible proof of this commitment. From stationary vehicles to pedestrians on the road, these systems operate across a wide range of situations and speeds, demonstrating their effectiveness in preventing accidents.

Peugeot does not only offer cars, but also a future of safer and more connected driving. Its advanced systems show how technology can be the perfect companion for safer and more responsible driving. Night Vision, for example, can be fitted to the Peugeot 508 and is available to any customer for a price of €1,200, so enjoying a very effective safety feature for night driving is not very expensive.
