Think about it. There are ZERO benefits to the system intervening without a visual cue. Otherwise all you are doing is confusing the driver, and potentially making them think something is wrong with the car.

I have a very sensitive butt dyno, and I've never had the car step in without visual confirmation.
I think it only blinks when it taps the brakes. I'm dead serious about the no-warning throttle pull. I think it doesn't flash because drivers would complain if they knew just how much the system intervenes.
