Adaptive brake lights alert drivers of the emergency brake being activated in the vehicle in front of them. The flashing of the brake lights indicates to the car behind that the emergency brakes are being activated. The brake lights are automatically activated to flash several times with different illuminating levels when the vehicle undergoes an emergency brake while traveling at a speed of over 60 km/h. The intensity of the brake lights could be enhanced through the activation of additional lights along with the car’s existing brake lights upon emergency braking. The signal can either be given through flashing of brake and hazard lights or through high-intensity brake lights (intensity higher than that during normal braking), along with the activation of hazard lights.
