1. A vehicle adjustment system, comprising:
processing circuitry comprising one or more processors; and
memory storing instructions executable by the processing circuitry to cause the processing circuitry to:
analyze data from one or more sensors to identify an another vehicle in a vicinity of a vehicle;
access a collision history of the another vehicle;
determine an appropriate distance between the another vehicle and the vehicle based on the collision history of the another vehicle, wherein the appropriate distance is adjustable based on the collision history of the another vehicle; and
control one or more driving components of the vehicle to move the vehicle to provide the appropriate distance between the another vehicle and the vehicle.
