Why haven't car manufacturers standardized automatic brake lights when a built in accelerometer detects deceleration? - eviltoast

    Yeah, but often you don’t know how much braking is applied. I’m sure that my idea is wishful thinking and would show some other negatives.

    Another idea I just had is, that maybe, in a connected car future, cars will just share their data about how much they are braking automatically live to surrounding cars, so a car behind can react automatically as well.

      Unless you are right on the other car’s bumper, you should have plenty of time to react accordingly even if they just slow down.

        Yes of course. I’m thinking about driving on the highway and being in a close to traffic jam for example.
