        abstract = {This project present, a smart vehicle safety system powered by the ESP32 microcontroller to the address two common cause of the road accidents: blind spot and slippery road surfaces. These proposed system uses the ultrasonic sensor mounted on the side of the vehicle to continuously monitor areas which are not clearly visible to the drivers. When an obstacle  detects the driver receives immediate visual and the audible alert through the LCD display and the buzzer. A moisture sensor is used to identify wet road conditions and to warn the driver about the possible skidding. By combining real time monitoring with the affordable hardware and this prototype improve driver awareness and offers a practical safety solution for ordinary vehicles that which do not have advanced driver-assistance systems.},
