ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle early warning system is provided for enabling a motor vehicle to receive a warning signal (e. g., a brake activation signal) from a preceding vehicle and automatically and instantaneously transmit a warning signal to a following vehicle independently of any reaction time on the part of the driver of the motor vehicle. A receiver is located at the front of each vehicle for receiving a warning signal from the vehicle ahead of it. A transmitter is located at the rear of each vehicle for transmitting a warning signal to the vehicle behind it. A control unit is located on board each vehicle for responding to the reception of a warning signal by it's receiver for automatically causing it's transmitter to transmit a warning signal to the vehicle behind it.
