First time surprised me my because I didn’t know the car had the feature. Slammed the brakes harder than normal and hazards flashed at double time. Driving a 2010 Alfa Romeo 159.
I don’t know what the system is called but it’s been around on a lot of cars for a while now. Our car does it (2016 Nissan Qashqai) - the hazards came on automatically when I had to brake hard on the motorway, and everyone else’s hazards came on too - it was exactly the reason I knew how I knew I had to instantly brake hard due to all the cars ahead hazard lights coming on with the brake lights.
Most modern cars now put the hazards on automatically when the driver brakes hard.
Source? I have never seen a single car that does this.
I have seen several - if you press hard enough to Activate ABS on dry road, you most likely will see the hazard lights on

It’s a fact.
I’m a truck driver in Germany, and even my Volvo truck turns the hazards on under hard braking.
In Europe it is required for vehicles decelerating faster than 6m/s2 and I believe some vehicles might activate their fog tail lights too.
