The Future of Automobile industries trust to bring a safer mean of transportation system with excellent infrastructure to control and reduce road accidents. Some of basic road safety infrastructure implemented in vehicles provides an efficient vehicle models that could prevent most accidents but the reason behind those system not being implemented in vehicle could be categorized into two means. One is the cost and the other is those infrastructures brings carelessness to drivers. One of such road safety infrastructure in automobile is Adaptive Cruise Control system (ACC) which uses radio frequency to sense the distance between vehicles and control the engine speed. Mostly this technology is implemented only in luxurious vehicles because of its cost. There is also a controversy that drivers are pushed into carelessness due to availability of those infrastructures. So to eliminate both of those limitations we had designed a cost effective obstacle detection system using Ultrasonics. Simply and technically speaking we had replaced RADAR and implemented SONAR for this road safety application. Latest automobile technologies force us to shift our conventional vehicles to the present standards and the reason for this transition is well known to us. Not only the luxuriousness but also the technologies of latest vehicles tend us to have this shift. People's expectation in vehicular technology goes to peak nowadays in two factors, one it is low cost and other it is high tech safety featured collision resistance system. Through this proposal we had convinced and compensated the limitations present in preexisting technologies like Adaptive Cruise Control.I had implemented cogeneration as an alternative solution of generating and backing up the battery. It means that a pony motor is fed from the battery which helps in running a turbogenerator at rated speed to produce energy and backup the battery. This also allows in bringing a reduced polluting vehicle as present situation needs non pollutive vehicles under global warming considerations. As this is a long-term project, many ideas for expansion are at hand. So every day and every concept as we learn we get enormous ideas to be implemented in this vehicle that could possess good efficiency and high tech road safety features.
