Impaired driving, traffic congestion, and treacherous driving conditions have caused numerous accidents every year all over the world, leading to great suffering of people in different ways such as great anguish, fatal injuries, and horrendous loss of human lives. There were nearly 6,420,000 auto accidents in the United States in 2005, where 2.9 million people were injured and 42,636 people killed, which caused a financial loss of more than 230 billion dollars. Statistically, about five people die each hour in traffic accidents in the United States, that is, one death every 12 minutes [1]. Under such circumstances, how to improve the driving safety has been drawing increasing attention in the public and has been subject to extensive efforts from both industry and academia in mitigating the impact of traffic accidents and injuries. For example, car manufacturers have made great efforts to improve the safety of their vehicles by developing “passive” vehicle safety systems, such as seat belts, air bag systems, and crumple zones, to minimize postcrash driver and passenger injury, as well as by accommodating “active” vehicle safety systems that explore precollision accident avoidance, such as the antilock braking system (ABS), blind-spot safety, roll stability control, active steering systems, collision warning with brake support (CWBS), lane departure warning system, and Mazda precrash safety system [2].
