I think a strobe would be effective... add a little strobe in the taillights, and when the car determines you are emergency braking, the strobe is activated.
Pretty much the same idea as the flashing brake lights under hard braking, but would be seen better...
Probly not feasible to put strobes in every car... then the ricers would probly tap into them and make them flash all the time.
Mercedes vehicles have had the ability to detect emergency braking for a few years. If you stomp the brake pedal, the computer will take over and apply WAY more pressure than humanly possible. ABS keeps them from locking up.
