Last winter, my wife crashed the e92 head-on into a young deer, doing about 100 km/h on a dark rural road. She worked the brakes hard but the speed on impact was still 40-50 km/h.
The front of the car was destroyed and we were lucky to walk away unscathed.

I guess it makes you think what if the deer was a real big one? You could easily die in such a collision. So, this night vision option makes sense, especially in the countryside.
