Abstract
A vehicle safety system for preventing injury or death to persons or animals at risk of exposure to extreme temperatures within the vehicle. The system determines when a temperature within a vehicle is greater than or less than predetermined temperatures and also detects movement within the vehicle. As a result of a temperature being determined to be critical and movement being detected within a vehicle, certain responsive measures are automatically taken to alert the owner/operator and/or would-be rescuers of the potentially injurious situation present within the vehicle and/or to assist in a possible rescue.
