Yes you are correct. If they cant see all of those lights on a bus why should they see me

Check the laws in your state. I am pretty sure that you need to have standard constant-on bright brake lights in order to be legal. 
When I drove and raced an 09 Miata, I started using the in-line brake light pulser from Web Electronics. They are also the people that make the sequential tail lights for late model 'Stangs.
If you did the install you suggest, then you could flash people quickly when ever you slowed down.
Think about those insane pulsing headlights that big motorcycles use to increase their visibility...and do that on the rear of your car. Miata owners do this mod all of the time. Of course they still get rear ended--just not as hard.
 

Many moons ago I thought that pulsing brake lights would be the ticket. The harder you stop, the more they would pulse. Then in 2016, or so, I noticed on new vehicles the third brake light started pulsing when the brakes were applied; for a short time. A step in the right direction, but not far enough.

Now that every auto has LED lights I find them way to bright and when the brake lights come one I almost have to close my eyes. It does not help that 90% of the drivers in my area ride the brake pedal with the left foot. The brake lights are on all the time. How do you tell if they're really braking? Make the brake lights pulse slow for moderate, faster for normal and really fast for hard braking. 

Of course my peeves don't end there. With the advent of brow LED lights and super bright headlights it was impossible to see a front turn signal as the signal light was stuffed right beside the brow/headlight. Who's great idea was that? Now I see newer cars where the daylight brow lights go out when the turn signal comes on. A great step forward, although the turn signal light is still tucked in close to the headlamp and at night one cannot see that dim yellow flashing light. 

On another rant; we have to many fatals where I live. If people would just slow down and pay attention these fatal accidents would be less frequent. It seems the motto where I live is "Go as fast as you can, screw the other guy and check email as often as you can"

Sorry about the soap box.

 

Well....let me B-itch also.
In my area "the bubbasz" think they ALL have tractor/truck pulling trucks!  Big "road-packer" mud grips with about 1/2 the tire hanging outside the fender wells. THEN....they gotta jack the front of the truck wayyyy up like a 60's straight axled gasser.
After dropping thousands totally ruining the ride and handling on a 60,000 dollar truck..........they can't spend 75 bucks to have the headlights re-aligned.
NOW...their super white/super bright headlights blinds everybody - EVERYBODY in the on coming lane!
Not sure if they are just a-holdz or just plain stupid about how light works in the dark!!
Companies manufacture portable flood lights that put out in excess of 1,000,000  candle power light. (great for "shining-up deer BTW). Plugs into an accessory socket(AKA a cigarette lighter socket!) 
Just wanted to 'throw-that-litle-tid-bit-out-there!'
