Nighttime Driving and AI Autonomous Cars - AI Trends

Are you a nighttime driver? Some people like to drive at night and enjoy pretending they are in their Batmobile and seeking to fight crime. There are some people that reluctantly drive at night -- they drive at night because they need to get home from work or carry out other errands, but otherwise believe that nighttime driving has inherent hazards. There are those that entirely avoid driving at night because they either have difficulty driving at night, or they know that the stats about night driving are scary, or because they believe that vampires come out at night. Speaking of stats, according to various governmental reports, it is said that there is about 60% less traffic at night but 40% of all fatal car accidents happen at nighttime, furthermore the fatality rate for car occupants is about three times higher at night than during the daytime, and the fatal crash rate for 16-year-old drivers is twice what it is at night versus during the day (a good reason to keep your teenager from driving at night!). What makes nighttime driving so terrible? One aspect is the impact on visibility.
