Smart Brake Lights designed by Students
Posted on Mar 27, 08 02:04 AM PDT
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. This 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, then all the lights will flash red in an instant.
