I was thinking about exactly this possibility just a few weeks ago. Always nice to see a new, innovative technology that allows higher granularity in control, without pushing additional bloat or further limiting other areas of user controls..
To anyone wondering this essentially turns your brake pedal into a gas-like brake pedal.
Now what I'm wondering is, can we tie this all to the brake-light brightness?
- baby_souffle 1y agoAs a species, people perceive brightness non-linearly and it even differs between individuals and with age. You would want to have a group of break lights could you light up in relation to the braking Force. 30% brightness is hard to figure out but one of three brake lights is easier to grock.
- tracker1 1y agoI thought of such a beast for a long while... that it would be cool to have an LED array that increased in numbers based on brake pressure. Aside: anyone else ever been driving behind a large vehicle with the brake lights out? That's a not fun exercise right there.
- tekno45 1y agohow does this improve the driving experience? Is "i wonder how hard they're breaking" really a problem? People drive too close to each other already
- tracker1 1y agoWhen you're on a highway at 75-80mph in Phoenix towards the evening sun, and see a couple brake-lights ahead it can help understand the massive difference in terms of do I need to slam my own brakes or just take my foot off the accelerator alone.
- m463 1y agobrake lights are already disconnected from the brake pedal. many ev brake lights will come one based on deceleration, without touching the brake pedal.
