Orcasub comes outfitted with sonar for collision avoidance, a digital long-range communications system and a 60, 000 lumen LED lighting rig.
But in recent years, interest shifted to collision avoidance, hence the focus on driver behavior, the primary cause of most crashes, Dr. Campbell said.
FORBES: Crash Study Seeks Participants In Effort To Save Lives
The so-called Collision Avoidance Manoeuvre is what the truck will initiate if it suffers a major failure just as it is about to dock with the space station.
Collision avoidance, however, poses a greater likelihood of litigation.

Microwave imaging is used plenty, however, and due to its flexibility and lack of moving parts, the sensor could be used to build better integrated, cheaper airport scanners and vehicle collision avoidance technology -- making you safer however you choose to travel.
German technocrat though he is, Freymann also has doubts about the reliability of automatic collision-avoidance systems.

One of the biggest challenges was writing software to integrate ADS-B with an older, less sophisticated collision-avoidance system.
This software mastered the tricks of collision-avoidance in a series of desert test runs conducted before the race started.
Rockwell will be producing the backbone communications, cockpit displays, pilot controls, weather radar and collision-avoidance systems for an estimated 1, 775 Dreamliners.
And collision-avoidance systems will provide an extra margin of safety for the driver of a small car who's worried about being crushed by a larger vehicle.

The auto industry has intensified its research on how to link cruise control, steering, brakes and the cameras and sensors used for collision-avoidance systems into an integrated system able to guide a car safely.
