Raytron's automotive thermal camera helps cut through these threats by detecting heat signatures from pedestrians, animals and objects.

How dangerous is nighttime driving? NHTSA Report No. 810 637 reveals that the passenger vehicle occupant fatality rate at nighttime is about three times higher than the daytime rate. Glare, high beams, the black hole effect, and haze compromise ADAS performance. However, Raytron's automotive thermal camera helps cut through these threats by detecting heat signatures from pedestrians, animals and objects.

Top automakers including EV leader BYD, global manufacturer Geely Group, and innovator DiDi Autonomous Driving have collaborated with Raytron cutting-edge automotive thermal cameras to improve perception reliability. With AEC-Q100-certified MEMS and ISP chips, proprietary AI-Powered shutter-free algorithm, and the world's first self-developed 6μm uncooled infrared detector, Raytron is helping pave the way for safer and smarter driving.

How Do Raytron Automotive Thermal Cameras Empower ADAS?

OEM Integration: With new safety standards such as Euro NCAP, C-NCAP, and FMVSS 127 mandating nighttime AEB tests, leading OEMs are increasingly turning to thermal imaging to ensure nighttime driving safety.

Excellent Penetration and Long-Range Detection:  Cuts through smoke and haze to extend visibility beyond human sight and conventional cameras. Maintains robust imaging performance even in tunnels, backlight, and pitch-dark night.

Intelligent Obstacle Recognition:  Raytron's AI-powered thermal modules, specifically designed to enhance perception for assisted driving by detecting thermal signatures and delivering early hazard alerts, distinguish living beings from cooler surroundings, triggering the AEB system when pedestrians or animals rush to the road.

Raytron's Vision: Bringing Thermal Imaging to Every Vehicle

As a leader in infrared thermal imaging technology, Raytron has built a fully integrated supply chain. This end-to-end advantage enables us to deliver cost-effective and reliable automotive thermal imaging solutions for both OEM integration and aftermarket upgrades, making every journey after dark safer.

World's First Mass-Produced Sodium-Ion Battery Passenger Vehicle Officially Unveiled
On February 5, Changan Automobile unveiled its global sodium-ion battery strategy, and the world's first mass-produced sodium-ion battery passenger vehicle was officially introduced. Test data shows that the vehicle equipped with CATL's sodium-ion battery delivers nearly three times the discharge power compared to conventional lithium iron phosphate vehicles with the same battery capacity under -30°C conditions. In extreme cold environments of -40°C, it maintains over 90% capacity retention, and it can still discharge stably even at the extreme low temperature of -50°C.
