+    This example shows how to run a CNN based vehicle detector using dlib.  The
+    example loads a pretrained model and uses it to find the front and rear ends
+    of cars in an image.  The model used by this example was trained by the
+    dnn_mmod_train_find_cars_ex.cpp example program on this dataset:   
+        http://dlib.net/files/data/dlib_front_and_rear_vehicles_v1.tar
+    
+    Users who are just learning about dlib's deep learning API should read
+    the dnn_introduction_ex.cpp and dnn_introduction2_ex.cpp examples to learn
+    how the API works.  For an introduction to the object detection method you
+    should read dnn_mmod_ex.cpp.
+
+    You can also see a video of this vehicle detector running on YouTube:
+        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHbJ7HhbG74
