Away from patented ideas, Jullian Preston-Powers has been furthering his automotive safety expertise by working on anti-theft systems which also work to save the lives of small children and dogs on hot days, a tragically common problem. To start off with, he says that “The proximity sensors that currently exist in virtually all cars dating back to 10 years in age are of sufficient technology to roll all windows down 2 or so inches in a car that self-detects motion”. Preston Powers is looking for subtle reprogramming of these sensors, to not only roll down the windows, but also alert passers by or authorities to a situation that can rapidly worsen. However, Preston Powers does not seek to patent this idea, but rather keep it public domain, so commercialization does not freeze progress and hinder innovation.

Jullian Preston-Powers continues to hold these positions today and has left a huge mark on automotive safety technologies. Turning local conversations into global issues, he has a clear willingness to implement ideas that will help home and global communities first and foremost, with profit margins merely a bonus.
