Some cars already have it fitted. Doesnt always work though. Did you see the topgear caravan / towcar test the other week.

That was because there was a difference in the price of the two vehicles as the first car tested had the front brake detectectors fitted and the second one didn't. However, Jeremy Clarkson thought both vehicles had the sensors fitted but came unstuck when he collided with the second vehicle but that was just humourous entertainment for the programme. He's can't be that daft surely....or can he?

I have drove the new Volvo V60 with the front brake sensors fitted on a rally field and when I drove towards the hedge the vehicle stopped dead without having to even touch the brake pedal. Remarkable technology.
