A space cushion is a buffer around your vehicle that you maintain to allow room to maneuver, if necessary. So the answer is So that there can't be any crashes.

Explanation: A space cushion is a buffer around your vehicle that you maintain to allow room to maneuver, if necessary. Know what is in your space cushion, scan frequently and maintain awareness of other vehicles. Keep at least a three-second following distance in front of you – four or five seconds in inclement weather.  

A space cushion is an area around your vehicle that is just empty space. No other vehicles are in that space. The space cushion area includes the space in front of, behind, and on both sides of your car.
