A few months ago Canon launched a full colour hd video camera, the ME20 camera with an iso of 4million. US$30k At iso 1 million image is not too noisy.

It would turn a landing light into a nitesun.

Too bulky at moment for helmet mounting, although it may be possible to remote some of the processing. Sony A7sII consumer camera has an iso within a few stops of the Canon so this tech is in a growth stage.

Some car manufacturers are designing a sytem that from the drivers perspective appears to see through the body of the vehicle. Land Rover are testing the idea so the off road driver can see the road 1meter directly in front of the wheels that is obscured from the driver by the bonnett and dash.
Cruise ships have installed hd monitors on walls of interior cabins screening live images from side of ship with geat success.

So "glass cockpit" in the future may have a different connotation.
