| Smart Car SuddenSTOP |
 With 1.6 million rear-end collisions happening, chances are you or someone you know has been involved in a rear-end collision.
So how can you protect yourself from being rear-ended if you slam your brakes? SuddenSTOP is a innovation safety tool that measures your braking power and was designed to grab the attention of a tailing driver when you slam your brakes, and only when you slam your brakes. The unit detects when you're braking heavily and rapidly flashes two vertical strips, each of four bright red LEDS, for two seconds when this occurs.
If SuddenSTOP can get the vehicle behind you to apply its brakes merely 1/4 of a second faster you might save yourself from being rear-ended. SuddenSTOP does not flash on normal braking; only hard panic stops. The unit has batteries already installed and doesn't need wiring in to the vehicle's braking or other electrical systems. All you do is mount it to the vehicle - what could be simpler than that? Once you've mounted it on your vehicle, the rest happens automatically. When you brake harder than normal, you trigger the SuddenStop and it fires a two second burst of blinking red Lends to hopefully warn the driver behind you of your braking. This is potentially a very helpful and interesting gadget at an affordable price.
