Preventing car collisions may become a bit easier thanks to a newly developed app called WiFi Honk. Created by students at the University of Missouri, the smartphone tool works by using a series of audio and visual alerts to notify both drivers and pedestrians when they're on the brink of a collision, helping to reduce potential accidents. Still in its early stages, the app could potentially have a huge impact on the automotive industry and alter the way we respond to collisions.

Winner of the Best Video Award at the ACM Mobisys 2014 Conference, WiFi Honk is already impressing…

Who knew the Mustang would ever star in an '80s-inspried dance video? We sure didn't, but we're glad it did!

Luckily, your friends at Westway Ford have done the legwork and found three apps that are must-haves for anyone with a driver's license.
