Title: Vololights Kickstarter
Post by: Mechmech on May 14, 2013, 08:38:11 AM
Thought this may interest y'all. It's a license plate frame that also functions as a secondary brakelight; it's got an accelerometer in it, so it detects engine braking and coasting, alerting other drivers where otherwise they may not know you're slowing down.

Sounds smart and pretty legit, the price to back it is $79.

Love this idea...
I'm a fan of crowdfunding as well. Might even back this one.

 This is a great idea. I may not be able to back the full $80 but I'll try to shoot some money their way soon.
