Abstract
Systems and methods of automatically controlling the application of a magnetic field based on certain sensed conditions and/or environmental considerations are provided. Sensed conditions may be vehicle operational characteristics and environmental considerations may be from V2X communications, which may be utilized to determine the current vehicle speed and the distance between a vehicle and an obstacle. When speed and distance meet certain thresholds, the magnetic components present on front, rear, and/or side panels of the vehicle may be activated to prevent or mitigate collision impact. The magnetic components may be activated with a determined amount of current for a specific repel force.
