Students in Virginia Tech mechanical engineering Professor Mehdi Ahmadian’s senior design class developed a horizontal light bar to communicate slowing and stopping actions to a driver in a following vehicle. It had several drawbacks, including cost of production. A sensor circuit that will do the same job using the extra lights usually mounted on commercial vehicles has now been developed.
Before I got my driver's license, I wanted a 1993 Honda Accord EX with a spoiler and the brake light LEDs that lit up from the middle to the edge. I thought it looked pretty cool. (I may or may not be making up the brake light thing. I swear I saw it once, but never really saw it again as far as I can recall.)
On a side note, I wish I could've done this project for my senior design project at WVU. :D
