| Some practical ones....
Monitor your Rear Brake lights for lamp failure even when switched off. Easy to do now you have a PLC by turning them on for a few mS and monitoring the current.
Detecting the rate at which you take your foot off the throttle and if it happens sufficently quick, putting the brake lights on before your foot arrives at the brake pedal.
Flash the brake lights a couple of times before they come on permanently.. Probably illegal, will have to check, but would probably be OK with additional High level ones across the roll bars.
Anything but anything to help stop some prat rear ending you... Cobra Stop lights aren't the most visible.....
If you have the appalingly inaccurate Smiths gauges, monitor the sender voltages and drive the instruments with a simple current sink driven from a DAC then you can have a look up table to correct the readings. Again not too difficult to do.
A warning system that monitors Ts & Ps and alert you before any damage is done. I made one for another car many years ago and it went off once for for real on the motorway when I lost the water... Probably saved some engine damage...
I'll doubtless think of more.....
