Cadillac drops Night Vision on DeVille

Cadillac has dropped the Night Vision option on the 2005 DeVille luxury sedan and will not offer it again. Jay Spenchian, Cadillac marketing director, says the division might offer an alternative infrared vision system. Cadillac's Night Vision was a passive infrared vision system. "If we bring a Night Vision system again, it would be an active system,'' Spenchian says.

Cadillac's once hot-selling Night Vision has gotten lost in the haze of changing buyer tastes, cost cuts and sliding demand for the only nameplate on which it is offered. That's a development few foresaw when the safety system made its debut four years ago on the Cadillac DeVille. At the heart of the system, which was developed by Raytheon Co. and Delphi Corp., is a camera mounted in the center of the grille. The camera detects heat-emitting objects as much as 500 yards ahead of the car.
