I f a neighbor is killed in a car accident, do you sell your car and stop driving?
The number of people who die in road crashes is about 1.3 million each year( average 3,287 deaths per day)[1]. The diver is responsible for causing about 49 %( ±2.2%) of the crashes. There are a lot of causes that lead to car accidents like (Reckless Driving, changing lanes quickly, speeding over the limit and medical conditions etc.). Bad decisions such as driving too fast for the curve, too fast for conditions, false assumption of others' actions, misjudgment and illegal maneuver of the gap or others’ speed represent the cause of about 33% (±3.7%) of the crashes. There are a lot of prior solutions tried to solve these problems like the crash deterrent system and Machine Vision System etc., however. The seventh leading cause of death is predicted to be Road traffic crashes by 2030. You can't feel how horrible the situation is unless you put yourself in it. So we try to make a system that forces you to avoid the accidents. "Car with extra safety features".

 We control the maximum speed that the car can reach depending on the speed limits of the streets.By locating a GPS device in the car which determine the location of the car by receiving the data from NASA's satellites. Then, use this data in google maps platform to determine the speed limit of the street. Finally, control the valve of speed of the car according to the speed limit.
 We also made a communication system between cars to share information that can help avoid accidents.

 We made an automatic control for the steering wheel when a sudden car appears by determining what the best way to go.

 We made a float system for the car.

We made a complete system that avoids any type that may cause accidents made by a human. If we apply this system we predict that the number of these deaths would be reduced by 62.35%.
