• Brake, LLC is the owner of the patented EBA (Early Brake Alert) technology. It is our intent to either license the
  patented technology or sell the patent rights.
  
  
• EBA senses when brake lights ahead turn-on and turns on your own brake lights which, at 70 mph, provides a one second
  earlier alert to the driver behind you.
  
  
• According to a Daimler-Benz study, quoted by the National Traffic Safety Board, "An extra second of warning time can
  prevent 90 percent of rear-end collisions".
  
  
• According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2007 there were 1.5 million rear-end collisions, resulting
  in 2700 fatalities and 560,000 injuries in only the US.




		The auto industry now recognizes the wisdom of focusing on collision avoidance rather than just collision survival. This is evidenced by the number of "hi-tech" collision avoidance systems being researched. Because of their complexity, their cost is high and reliability is questionable. But, now, there is a low cost, high reliability solution. Early Brake Alert (EBA) is a rear-end collision avoidance invention for which a US patent was recently awarded.
