Abstract
In an approach to improve improving impact prevention in both manual and autonomous vehicles embodiments of the present invention generate a knowledge corpus based on data collected, from one or more internet of thing (IoT) sensors, associated with one or more predetermined risk factors of one or more predefined risks over time. Further, embodiments receive from the one or more IoT sensors input data to observe a vertical space above a vehicle and identify an object in a predetermined area based on the received input data and the knowledge corpus. Additionally, utilize the knowledge corpus and the input data to generate a risk score for the identified object and responsive to the risk score being above a predetermined threshold, embodiments issue a command for the vehicle to continue to drive or to progress to a predetermined safe zone.
