Reverse-facing anti-collision system

Abstract:

Various systems and methods for implementing a reverse-facing anti-collision mechanism are described herein. An anti-collision system for a lead vehicle to provide an alert to a trailing vehicle behind the lead vehicle, includes a vehicle controller subsystem to receive from a sensor array interface, sensor data from a rear-facing sensor incorporated into the lead vehicle; determine, using a processor, from the sensor data that the trailing vehicle is a collision risk; and initiate, via a light controller, a visual alert to the trailing vehicle, the visual alert in addition to or in place of brake lights on the lead vehicle.
