Having flown night vision as well as thermal systems, my concerns are the learning curve (and yet another display) and folks thinking they can drive faster because of the thermal system...
That said, I'd love to test one out

Thermal certainly sounds like the way to go.
I drive about 4-5 miles down a road in pitch black at 4am. I'm always on the lookout for deer on the side of the road. I've seen them a handful times over the last 3 years or so. I left to go to work this morning in the thickest fog that I can remember seeing. I got about 10 miles from home and turned around to head back. It wasn't worth it to drive to work in that environment. I saw a bunch of posts on the Internet about accidents, multivehicle pile-ups, and just horrible driving conditions. I'd have loved one of these, but ideally, it would be some sort of HUD, not another screen to look at.
