Comment on Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates
Bob_Robertson_IX@discuss.tchncs.de 3 weeks agoI just got a Chevy Volt and when I let up off the accelerator it will start the regen and significantly decrease my speed. I assume that my brake lights are coming on because so far no one has rear-ended me or yelled at me for not having brake lights. I wish there was a good way to tell for sure though. I think it’s Hyundai that does not engage the brake lights for situations like this, as I’ve about hit one before.

I don’t think they illuminate the brake lights, hence my comment. Technology connections has talked about this, although IDK which video it was.

I was curious if anyone had actually tested it or not, and I found the video above where they get right into it, without any intros or family history or begging to like & subscribe… just a short video where they test it and find that, YES!, the brake lights do come on when you use the steering wheel paddle brake or when you’re in L gear and take your foot off the accelerator.
