Not sure why the trunk mount is relevant for interfacing with the car. The brake switch signal activates your brake lights, those are typically at the rear of the car :) Admittedly, for a universal application you want to interface with as little of the car as possible. That said, in the US all cars made after 1995 comply with certain On-Board Diagnostics protocols (OBD-II) so you can interface with several standard systems. One such sensor available in OBDII is the VSS or the Vehicle Speed Sensor. Check out a device like the Scan-Gauge[1] to get an idea of other sensor that can be interfaced with universally. It would be trivial to run some wire under the carpet and plug into the OBDII port to give the hybrid system access to all kinds of engine & sensor info.

I wasn't saying that. Let me rephrase: The way the video describes the controller (the one in the trunk)...
