Why haven't car manufacturers standardized automatic brake lights when a built in accelerometer detects deceleration?

This is probably country/region specific but my car (Tesla) illuminates the brake lights when it detects a certain level of deceleration. Also my work vehicles (Volvo V90 CrossCountry and XC60) do this. Finland/Sweden in my case. My car also flash the hazards when it detects hard braking and I've seen quite many euro cars do this. I agree that this should be standard.

EV owners... What is your opinion?

Tesla model 3 for three years. I'm located in northern Finland so we get a lot of snow and low temperatures around here. These cars are perfect winter vehicles. Defrosts in 10 minutes and you can sit into a nice warm car in with heated seats and steering wheel.

I have a China made euro model so it doesn't come with the panel gaps or many other QC issues that US built vehicles has. It's been a great owner experience overall.

I charge mostly at home at 11KW and the fast charging network is pretty great in general so charging is seldom an issue. Next car would probably have been a Tesla again If it wasn't an American company.

But because it is, I might have to look at in my opinion less exciting but equally nice options such as Kia or VW. I really like the new Smart 5 too.

Google is switching the Pixel 9 to an ultrasonic fingerprint reader

I bought a Samsung S24 recently but sold it because of the terrible ultrasonic fingerprint reader. I guess I have too dry thumbs or something. Using lotion helped for a few hours at a time but I'd rather not use lotion all the time because of my phone. Tried a few tricks like registrering my prints twice etc. but no dice. Meanwhile the old optical reader on my old phone Moto G84 worked perfectly.

So my experience from this is that ultrasonic is not always better.

Vad har ni ögonen på inför Black Friday?

Reply in thread

Jag har haft ögonen på xlmoto.se. De hade rätt bra black friday erbjudanden i fjol. Annars är jag rätt lojal till lokala mc-handlarna när det är snabbare puckar.

Xlomoto har både budgetvänliga alternativ som deras egna course och high end prylar om plånboken tillåter.
