Does anyone who has any experience with this kind of thing know if maybe the night vision cameras would be helpful for driving through a blinding blizzard or something where headlights don't really help?



If they're anything like the latest generation of "night vision" cameras on some high end general aviation aircraft, they are nothing like the kind of stuff you see on TV.

They don't get completely washed out by other light sources and are mostly used for "seeing" through weather, clouds, fog, etc. and they work very well.

One version--not the best one I've seen though:

However it is probably a lot more like other automobile night vision assist devices like this one:
