“Prevention is the best medicine.”

Being a driver, wouldn’t it be so awesome if you’ll have an idea to when and where a car crash could possibly happen? That would be a sigh of relief knowing that you are completely safe while driving.

As reported by Autoweek, these prevention measures may soon be feasible thanks to the Global Positioning Satellites (GPS). In an effort by Ford Motor Co. in partnership with Auburn University to continuously commit on academic research on the different safety and precautionary measures, they are currently researching on the relationship of these GPS satellites to a car’s stability system in order to predict and in the same time prevent car crash and accidents.

But could this be possible and if so, how could this be possible? According to sources, several tests show that these GPS satellites can monitor the car’s speed and direction and then send signals to the car’s stability system if there is an incoming crash in order to help the driver in avoiding it. More findings of the research will be showed during the Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics in San Antonio, Texas, later this month.

These kinds of projects could possibly be a big leap in accident prevention programs as well as the creation of a safer driving environment. Let’s just hope that all of these will be fully functional in the near future.
