This would allow you to see not only when people are
stopping, but when they're accelerating as well.
When just cruising it would just be off like a regular brake
light. I'm not sure if this would be useful or not.

Not useful for those with red/green colorblindness. |

Probably this would be left behind when the cars get networked. You may not know but your car will. |
|
| |
Just have a dash range finder, if your still keen. |
|
| |
One [+] but how about when they are reversing? |
|
| |
I dunno, [doc]. If a car ahead is braking, I need to
know about it. If they're accelerating, I only need to
know about if they have, for example, kidnapped my
dog and I am in hot pursuit. |
|
| |
Given that the latter is unlikely to happen (our dog is
very grumpy and remarkably stupid; I'd ask them for
ransom to take it back), I'm not sure it's worth adding
to the optical noise. |
|

//our dog is very grumpy and remarkably stupid// |
|
| |
It's not just your dog Max, all dogs are stupid. As I've said
before: If the forehead's a slope, the critter's a dope. |
|
| |
And yes 8, cats are just as stupid. (refer to maxim above) |
|
| |
//If the forehead's a slope, the critter's a dope.// I'm
not going to tell the intercalary you said that, [doc]. |
|
| |
(I'll pretend I understood that so I don't look stupid.) |
|
| |
Yes, I was just thinking that. |
|
| |
(Pretty cool that with these new browsers, somebody told me
that
parenthesis make words invisible to others, so I can say
whatever I want and nobody else will see it. Ha ha! Suckers.) |
|
| |
[little does the fool know that the brackets have to
be square!] |
|
| |
At traffic lights, knowing the car infront's accceleration means, as a driver, you can stay closer and allow more people behind through. On jammed motorways, an indication of acceleration might make for a more gentle traffic waveform. |
|
| |
Needs be hooked to tire rotation: acceleration green, deceleration red, reverse white... regardless of driver input. |
|

|

This particular iWord must be a Britishism, unknown to
Americans. Well, unknown to me anyway. |
|
| |
February 29 is an intercalary day. Leap year is an intercalary
year. Informing the intercalary of something.... nope, doesn't
scan. |
|

^ I don't see your point. In that case, normally there would be a red light followed by nothing when he takes his foot off the brake and steps on the gas. In the case of a red/green/white indicator, there'd be nothing when his foot comes off the gas, then green when it hits the gas (and the wheels' rotational speed increases). |
|
| |
Oh, driver's input is also signalled so you can tap the brakes as a headsup. |
|
| |
Nice idea, but this would never work - as you
accelerate, the green light would become red-shifted
from the perspective of the person behind you and
they would just see a murky brown light. |
