Smart Brake Lights designed by Students

March 27th, 2008 | Category: Gadget News

The students at Virginia Tech are a bright bunch, having developed a new system for automobile braking lights that will be able to show whether you are stopping or just slowing down, based on how quickly you jam the pedal with your foot. that concept is materialized by using an array of horizontally-arranged LED lights. Whenever you start to

slow down, the center lights will glow orange and after a pre-programmed threshold, the side lights will turn red. Should you happen to perform an emergency brake, next all the lights will flash red in an instant.
