SuddenStop to prevent accidents
Posted on Jul 17, 07 07:20 PM PDT
There are times where you just can't avoid slamming the brakes on your car to avoid hitting an obstacle, but the driver behind you has even less time to react. The SuddenStop license plate from aims to help alert your "followers" by calculating G-forces and flashing its ultrabright LEDs for three seconds. It is activated only when you perform and emergency brake, and the SuddenStop's eight lithium batteries can last up to 2 or 3 years of use before a replacement is required. Research has shown that the SuddenStop can reduce driver reaction time by 0.25 seconds which doesn't sound a lot, but it actually translates to 20 feet of stopping distance at 60mph. At $29.99, the SuddenStop sounds like good value to avoid a potential fender bender.

Damn. Damn. Damn. I've been working on building something like this for ages. I couldn't afford the patent process.
Hmph.
