Yeah, it's more important what the car is ACTUALLY doing than what some (potential) idiot thinks they're going to do. The concern would be the accuracy/reliability of a g-force sensor, but then again there are so many people driving around with only 1 (or fewer) working brake lights that it kind of seems like a moot point by comparison. (This utterly baffles me. Where I live we have people making right AND left turns into the incorrect lane as a rule rather than the exception, reverse lights somehow wired to come on with the parking lights, and a shocking amount of just totally inoperable brake lights. The police around here only seem to pull you over if you're firing full auto while snorting cocaine off the butt of a dead hooker. Or if they're running a speed trap. But I digress.) On a modern car you could trigger it by the rate of change in speed as read by the ECU, provided it's triggered quickly enough (not sure what the typical polling interval is.) Potentially even use it as a backup to the existing brake light switch, though that doesn't solve the problem of the morons burning their pads off riding the brakes at highway speed. Honestly, the lack of pain induced by stupidity is one of the greatest crimes of reality. |
