Thomas Pumpelly (Email) 10.5Effects of Minimal Speed Collisions:
Differential speeds of less than one (1), mph have been known to cause death in vehicle accidents. Several automobile manufactures have considered equipping their vehicles with automatic braking systems which will apply brakes when the System determines that differential speed is dangerous given the proximity of one vehicle to another it is following or objects ahead. Many vehicle “cruise control” systems incorporate this feature presently.
