Adaptive Brake Lights

Summary

The adaptive brakelight controller allows to have brake lights that flash during very hard braking, as found on many modern cars.

It waits for the ABS starts to affect the braking and then starts to flash the lights. Additionally, it can also show when the ESC intervenes via the brakelights.
