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.

It is technology that almost no one is asking for and few are using. Especially if they had an idea of how much this mostly useless tech was adding to the cost of modern vehicles.
