So I bet they have a person, or even a team that have dedicated their life to automotive lighting design. They pour through all the regulations, costs, safety studies, and they keep revising designs. Then some amateur arm-chair internet weenie like me comes along and questions all that work. Yeah, I can see why some people would respond with "the nerve of some people to question the experts!"
Kind of prefer to have all 3 brake lights fully engaged when braking.
in a photo you don't see the left brake light. In real life, the turn signal IS the brake light. in all the time I've been driving, I've never been following someone with red taillights and been confused that they were slowing down or not just because their turn signal was on.Because it talks about how the current "solution" doesn't always have all 3 brake lights fully engaged while braking. For instance in that screen cap where the left blinker is on so the left brake light was off at that moment. It removes some of the brake light brightness.
The issue, for me anyway, is not one of knowing whether they are braking, but whether they are turning. I've been behind cars that just blinked the brightness of one of their red brake lights, and unable to distinguish that blinking as really being a turn signal. It's mainly a problem with incandescent lights, as the brightness difference (and instantaneous transition) with LEDs is more noticeable, so that complaint may go away with time.in a photo you don't see the left brake light.

The whole amber argument beings safer than all red seems silly, especially when based on a single photo taken between 'blinks'.

In this photo:
If I glance at that, I don't know if to think "the left brake light is burnt out", or "maybe they are going to turn left".
Someone could even think the outer ring in the brake light, and they are indicating about to turn right.
I find it confusing. Yellow/amber makes it all a lot more obvious what is happening.
