1. A system for detecting proximity of an object in a path of a vehicle, comprising:
an object in the path of a vehicle, wherein the object is at least partially coated with a near-IR reflective coating that increases a near-IR electromagnetic radiation detection distance by at least 15% as measured at a wavelength in a near-IR range between the object and the vehicle as compared to the object coated with a color matched coating which absorbs more of the near-IR radiation, wherein the color matched coating has a ΔE color matched value of 1.5 or less when compared to the near-IR reflective coating, as measured using an integrating sphere with D65 Illumination, 10° observer with specular component included.
