AV Exit is a patented autonomous vehicle safety system. When sensors detect unavoidable impact, the motors and wheels discharge the separated passenger pod away from the powertrain along a safer path.
AV Exit is designed to fully develop the revolutionary potential of self-driving vehicles to reduce traffic deaths and injuries. Sending the passenger pod away from the powertrain creates safety benefits by reducing speed and weight while increasing drag. This system will assure autonomous vehicles are the safest transportation choice.
AV Exit, LLC seeks to sell or license our IP and provide design options for implementation.
The detached pod weighs much less than an intact AV; the pod also has an expanded friction area at its base which reduces speed as it drags to a stop. These inertia-dampening factors address a high percentage of collision-related passenger injuries and fatalities.
AV Exit uses sensors, processing, software, and wireless information to calculate the safest discharge path on a continuous basis. Steering and wheel-spinning torque allow multiple directional vectors towards safety.
