Aren’t those the taillights that tell you how loaded your truck is?

There’s tons of technology going into every part of a modern car. That’s why repair costs are going up.

The F-150 smart taillights, or taillamps, have a feature that’s similar to the battery charge indicator of a smartphone. With LED lights on a built-in vertical bar, it displays the payload capacity percentage of the F-150.

Damn, did the car designer play Death Stranding?

I mean anything is possible. It wouldn’t be the first time media inspired technology.

I mean, lots of innovation are things no one is asking for and you have no idea if people find this useful for not.
