Adaptive third brake light

Patent number 710254

Back to patents

The project concerns a third brake light that changes its light signal according to the vehicle’s braking intensity.

How it works

The device distinguishes four levels: light, medium, heavy and emergency braking. The signal can vary through the number of lights illuminated, their colours or a combination of both.

The project aims to make changes in the braking intensity of the vehicle ahead noticeable to those following it. The video presents the concept and how it works.
