Improvement to the 3rd Brake Light

If there are ppl who need so much tech to avoid accidents, maybe they should just stop driving.

There's a name for drivers like that, it's called "beh kan".

I was thinking, currently the 3rd brake light only gives a 'on' and 'off' indication, but does not reflect the intensity of braking force. Therefore, while traveling on the expressway we do not know the car in front when the brake is it a light tap to slow down or hard braking. Possible improvement I'm thinking was a 3rd brake light which would reflect whether the brake is a light tap or emergency brake, by the length of the lighted 3rd brake light. IF it is a light tap to slow down, 1 foot length of 3rd brake light showing. If moderate braking, 2 feet length of 3rd brake light showing. IF its a emergency brake, full 3 feet length of 3rd brake light would show. If there is such a 3rd brake light I believe the accident would reduce, because people would not hard brake unintentionally because he can see whether the car in front is a light tap or hard brake. Does such a 3rd brake light exist?

 

I have already designed and built 3rd Brake LED Light Flasher. 3rd LED Brake will flash 4 times before continuosly On as long brake pedal was pressed. 3rd Brake LED will continuosly flash when I switch my turn signal light. Even without pressing Brake Pedal.

 

But I like your idea of improving the Brake LED light On and Off indication. I'll also consider that when you realease gas pedal while car was in motion that 3rd Brake LED will also turn on.

 

I'll try design the circuit and build it after I finish my Multiple Spark CDIS for my car.

Hey,... How about a 3D version of the 3rd brake light when upon hard braking, it jumps out and screams at you to STOP !!

 

Eeehh?? Jus make sure u got your 3D glasses on lah....K?

Agree. Btw, Self-park system also pamper cmi drivers.

Third brakie loses effect in CTE Morning Hours back to front crawl. How often you could see the brakes of the car in front of the one you were tailgating to the millicentimeters?

I thought of this idea ten years back.

 

My idea was to have the brake light display a range of intensity from yellow to red.

 

Light tap will be yellow

 

Progressively to red
