Dynamic and proportional system for signaling braking maneuvers

The invention relates to a dynamic signaling system of the evolution of the braking maneuver that has visual proportionality with respect to the loss of speed of the vehicle, with fixed or programmed response sensitivity of the system in each braking maneuver, which enables visual proportionality and dynamic unambiguous representation of the variation of speed of the vehicle during braking. It can be applied with advantages to any type of vehicle, with an electric or hybrid combustion engine, with manual or automatic transmission. The system can be applied to both brake lights and the third brake light (high-mount brake light) indistinctly or jointly, further reinforcing the dynamic effect of attention and the transmission of information.

BATTERY-POWERED VEHICLE SENSORS

A computer includes a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to select a scanning rate for a first sensor of a vehicle based on at least one of data related to a current time or data related to a location of the vehicle; instruct the first sensor to run at the selected scanning rate; in response to receiving data from the first sensor indicating a newly present object, turn on a second sensor; and then record data from the second sensor. The second sensor has a higher power draw than the first sensor.
