However, I heard the night vision assist view is worse than actually using your own eyes. What I think should be used would be some infared heat camera since all living things have a higher temperature compared to the surroundings.

Glare is the thing that annoys object ahead when it is used. I think its better if BMW work with the tech company to invent a special coating that behaves something like a night vision device, i.e., one that amplify the smallest source of light in order to see in the dark. That way, you will solve two problems: driver now can detect objects in pitch black and no one will suffer from glare from high beams. Whaddaya think? How do the lighting system reduce glare?
