A vehicle safety system includes one or more sensors interfaced to an index vehicle and a computer that is operatively interfaced to the one or more sensors, thereby the computer obtains sensor data from the one or more sensors. One or more propulsion devices are operatively coupled to the computer such that the computer controls activation of each propulsion device. The computer executes software that causes the computer to iteratively calculate a size of a safety zone based upon the sensor data and to iteratively determine if an object enters the safety zone as well as if a collision with the object is imminent. If it is determined that the collision with the object is imminent, the software causes the computer to signal one or more of the propulsion devices to emit a jet of liquid, thereby decelerating and/or changing direction of the index vehicle and/or of the object.
