I really do not have a specific question here, I am just trying to get some sort of "spark" to jumpstart my brain...I was just thinking though, even if it WOULD take hundreds of years to obtain relativistic speeds by using the gravities of the giant bodies in and around the solar system...

also, I am aware there would need to be more factors in the airbag and not just having an object in a sensor but I don't really feel like getting into that lol and for the doppler it would need to be something relatively sensitive due to cars like the prius not making much sound at all when...

Nah you did not miss the edit, in the edit I just changed the terminology from CAR to INFILTRATING OBJECT because I realized you wouldn't have to use it for just cars

you just gun it and the other cars will automatically move out of your way :P

not sure how it is "ridiculous" but that's besides the point... I am not implying it just falls down and goes back up with its increased velocity so gravitational "slingshotting" must be precisely what I am talking about... also, if an item enters Earth's atmosphere at the exact velocity...

Here is what I posted earlier, it is much more practical then using magnets and would be lower cost as well...

Is it possible?? I am not familiar with the idea due to not having studied anything about it yet, but I am curious I mean it is theorized that you need unfathomably large amounts of energy (some sources say infinite amounts of energy) and gravity is, in a sense, an unlimited amount of...

Ya and you can't forget about the cars to the sides of you as well, it is not just about maintaining distance from the car ahead of you, but if someone goes to pass you in the lane next to you the magnetic repulsion could push both cars off the road, and you said it best:

Okay, this is assuming we are trying to PREVENT an accident from ever happening, but if the affect were to be pronounced like bumper to bumper traffic with some drunk guy not noticing that the cars ahead aren't going very fast, the guy sitting in bumper to bumper traffic is going 4.2 meters per...

I do not like the idea of using magnets to prevent car crashes, it would just repel the other car forward into another car causing a chain reaction of cars repelling each other...also, this would in no way save the passengers from sustaining damage, it might save the car but based on the laws of...
