BUS accident again

You don't enable it manually. Emergency/sudden braking triggers it. It is already available in many modern vehicles. Or at the least, it's starting to become more common.

Huraah , if this new braking system becomes a standard in vehicles, it will be slap to the face of LTOs, (copied) anti hazzard regulation. In sudden braking you are not to turn on your hazzard lights because you will not be able to signal the car behind you of your intended direction in case you have to change lanes to avoid the hazzard in front.

This proves two things.
1. Toyota safety engineers are convince brake lights alone are not adequate signal during emergency braking.

2. Toyota engineers does not believe losing the ability to signal during emergency braking is a critical reason to not use the hazzard lights.

I hope this innovation continues Im sure in the very near future, visibility sensors will be introduce that will automatically reduce your speed , turn on the headlights and turn on the hazzard lights.

The question now , are anti-hazzard lights advocate will buy vehicles equiped with this technology.?
