In Europe, a lot of modern cars have a similar feature. When braking particular hard (eg: a sudden emergency stop from highway speeds) the brake lights will flash rapidly to warn drivers behind you. It’s a very good safety feature, IMO. But not legal in North America?

I agree, but the device has built in switch, if you mount it upside down, it won't flash

I had that on my Suburban in Texas. Not sure where it is illegal, but my car had that as a dealer option.
