An automated collision mitigation system of a vehicle includes a vehicle controller, a free space monitor unit, a rear collision monitor unit, a communicator, a drivetrain system and a braking system. The free space monitor unit detects a free space in front of a host vehicle and the rear collision monitor unit detect parameters of a remote vehicle located rearwardly of the host vehicle. The communicator sends and receives signal from the other vehicles or infrastructures by V2V or V2I wireless network. The vehicle controller evaluates an accelerating time of the host vehicle and a time-to-collision of the rear remote vehicle. In addition, the vehicle controller determines to activate the drivetrain system or the braking system of the host vehicle.

Automated collision mitigation system of a vehicle and method thereof

A vehicle includes a fuel cell that generates electricity and water, which fuel cell includes a first end, a second end electrically coupled to the first end, and a water outlet. The water outlet of the fuel cell is connected to at least one of a washing system, a cooling system, a humidification system, and combinations thereof. In addition, a method is described for utilizing water produced by a fuel cell that includes generating water from the fuel cell, and conveying a first portion of the generated water to a component of a vehicle, which component, upon actuation, transfers a liquid comprising a portion of the first portion from the component to a point distal therefrom.
