There's a video in the article and... oof, that's good to know in case I end up behind one. It's definitely a bit confusing and likely won't alert distracted drivers because the red light is always present. (Not that drivers should be distracted on the road, but it happens often.)
We'll turn off the lights off to show just the brake lights! Brilliant!
Thanks for specifically mentioning that there was a video. I'd glanced at the article, didn't see a video and left. Had to click the extra link!
Looking at that, I almost feel like it could be pretty cool if instead of what actually happens, that middle part that stays lit up was actually a LED display that flashes the word braking.
As is, that's pretty bonkers.
