I think some cars also turn on the hazards automatically if you really hammer the breaks.
Comment on Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates
Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 4 days agoI think a secondary light that blinks quickly would be a good signal of emergency braking. Like some aftermarket motorcycle taillights that start with a blinking pattern before they stay on, but reverse the order.
So, standard brake light comes on at the standard time, at the first touch of the brake. For stronger braking, the second light comes on. Standard brake light stays lit while the second light begins blinking frantically for emergency braking.

That would serve the same purpose without and extra light, I think they’re into something

That could probably be implemented in most existing vehicles, and at least it would provide more information.
