12 Space Technologies You Use Every Day Without Realizing

8. Transportation Safety: Securing Our Journeys

The safety of our transportation systems has been greatly improved by space technology. Innovations such as anti-lock braking systems (ABS) and stability control in vehicles have their roots in space exploration. These technologies, initially developed to enhance the safety and reliability of spacecraft, have been adapted to prevent accidents and improve vehicle control on Earth. By applying space-derived solutions to terrestrial challenges, we ensure safer journeys for millions of travelers each day.
