A night vision system for a motor vehicle comprises a primary infrared source (13) for emitting primary pulses of infrared radiation to illuminate the road ahead, a camera (20) for receiving radiation reflected from objects in the road, a display (30) connected to the camera (20) for displaying an image of the road, a communication link (13,20; 21,19) for communicating with similar night vision systems fitted to other vehicles to enable exchange of data between the systems regarding the timing of the primary pulses emitted by the systems, and a controller (11) connected to the communication link and operative to set the phase of the pulses emitted by the primary infrared source (13) in such a manner as to avoid blinding of the night vision systems of oncoming vehicles. <IMAGE>
