Abstract
A magnetic repulsion system including a front electromagnet at a front, and a rear electromagnet at a rear, of a primary vehicle. A communication module is configured to determine whether a secondary vehicle directly adjacent to the primary vehicle is equipped with a secondary magnetic repulsion system. A sensor module of the primary vehicle is configured to identify when a collision between the primary vehicle and the secondary vehicle directly adjacent to the primary vehicle is imminent. A control module of the primary vehicle is configured to activate the front or rear electromagnet of the primary vehicle that is opposite to the secondary vehicle when both the sensor module identifies that a collision between the primary vehicle and the secondary vehicle directly adjacent to the primary vehicle is imminent, and the communication module receives notification that the secondary vehicle is equipped with the secondary magnetic repulsion system.
