Patent ID: 8831870

Claim:
A system for reducing damage from an impending collision between multiple vehicles comprising: sensing devices for sensing conditions near, around, in, or involving multiple vehicles; at least one processor; at least one database in electronic communication with the at least one processor; at least one memory in electronic communication with the at least one processor, wherein the at least one memory comprises programming code for execution by the at least one processor, and the programming code is configured to analyze the sensed conditions sensed by the sensing devices and to analyze data contained in the at least one database to determine and output instructions to the multiple vehicles to reduce damage from an impending collision between them, wherein the data to be analyzed by the programming code which is contained in the at least one database comprises vehicle handling capabilities and vehicle impact data as to where ideal locations are for vehicle impact; output devices for outputting or implementing the determined output instructions to the multiple vehicles in order to reduce the damage from the impending collision between the multiple vehicles; and at least one communication device for communicating the sensed conditions from the sensing devices to the at least one processor and for communicating the determined output instructions from the at least one processor to the output devices.
