1. An object avoidance system comprising: a vehicle including a plurality of sensors;an analysis module adapted to receive signals from the plurality of sensors;a notification module adapted to generate and send one or more notifications based on an analysis performed by the analysis module; andan action module adapted to cause the vehicle to perform an automatic or semi-automatic action based on the analysis, wherein one or more of the plurality of sensors query one or more nearby objects that reply with a response, the one or more nearby objects at least including a communications device associated with a person, wherein the query is a specialized query indicating that the query is only being used for determining location information, direction information, velocity information, and type of object information, thereby not compromising personal or sensitive information on the communications device. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more nearby objects are communications devices which return one or more of direction information, velocity information, location information, GPS information and presence information to one or more of the plurality of sensors. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of sensors include one or more of optical sensors, inductive sensors, infra-red sensors, capacitive sensors, laser-based sensors, acoustic-type sensors and a communications module. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein one or more of sensed objects and a vehicle driver are provided the one or more notifications, wherein the one or more notifications can be different. 5. The system of claim 1, further comprising dynamically updating the analysis and one or more of the one or more notifications. 6. The system of claim 1, further comprising a communications module that establishes a communication with one or more detected and proximate communications devices. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more notifications are provided to a vehicle driver audibly, graphically and on one or more of an associated communications device and a vehicle-based notification system. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more nearby objects include information that is queryable and other information that is protected. 9. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more nearby objects respond to the query with information as to the type of object they are. 10. The system of claim 1, wherein information regarding intended direction of travel is sent to one or more of the one or more nearby objects. 11. A method for object avoidance comprising: receiving signals from a plurality of sensors and performing an analysis thereon;generating and sending one or more notifications based on an analysis; andcausing the vehicle to perform an automatic or semi-automatic action based on the analysis, wherein one or more of the plurality of sensors query one or more nearby objects that reply with a response, the one or more nearby objects at least including a communications device associated with a person, wherein the query is a specialized query indicating that the query is only being used for determining location information, direction information, velocity information, and type of object information, thereby not compromising personal or sensitive information on the communications device. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the one or more nearby objects are communications devices which return one or more of direction information, velocity information, location information, GPS information and presence information to one or more of the plurality of sensors. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein the plurality of sensors include one or more of optical sensors, inductive sensors, infra-red sensors, capacitive sensors, laser-based sensors, acoustic-type sensors and a communications module. 14. The method of claim 11, wherein one or more of sensed objects and a vehicle driver are provided the one or more notifications, wherein the one or more notifications can be different. 15. The method of claim 11, further comprising dynamically updating the analysis and one or more of the one or more notifications. 16. The method of claim 11, further comprising a communications module that establishes a communication with one or more detected and proximate communications devices. 17. The method of claim 11, wherein the one or more notifications are provided to a vehicle driver audibly, graphically and on one or more of an associated communications device and a vehicle-based notification system. 18. The method of claim 11, wherein the one or more nearby objects include information that is queryable and other information that is protected. 19. The method of claim 11, wherein the one or more nearby objects respond to the query with information as to the type of object they are. 20. The method of claim 11, wherein information regarding intended direction of travel is sent to one or more of the one or more nearby objects.
