Multiple cars are now coming with them form the factory. There is a bunch of peer reviewed academic literature on their effectiveness in reducing the number of rear end collisions. They are expected to be mandatory, just as daytime running lights are now mandatory, on all new vehicles. They need to pulse, not flash to be legal. So on/brighter/on, not on/off/on.
