Abstract:
Provided is a Vehicular Crash Life Guard System (referred to hereinafter as “VCLGS”) for: 1. Preventing fires in vehicles by automatically disconnecting vehicle power sources, including batteries and generators or alternators, from the vehicle's electrical wiring during emergencies, such as crashes. 2. Preventing vehicle theft by permitting the operator to disable or enable the vehicle's electrical system at his discretion. 3. Preventing battery discharge when a vehicle is left unattended by disconnecting the battery of vehicle. 4. Preventing self-ignited fires due to electrical short-circuits in unattended vehicles. While the VCLGS is particularly useful in passenger cars equipped with air bags that, upon deployment, often render the driver unconscious, it can be just as useful in any other vehicle.
