Technologies for providing contingency vehicular caution/emergency signaling

A device configured for contingency vehicular signaling, the device being configurable to be placed into electrical communication with a first direct current (DC) power source, a second DC power source, at least one electrical switch having at least an open position and a closed position, and one or more electrically illuminated indicators, the device comprising:

• a third DC power source;
• and
• at least one semiconductor element, the third DC power source configured to:
• be placed into electrical communication with the one or more electrically illuminated indicators via an operator-activated transition of the at least one electrical switch from the open position to the closed position;
• be placed into electrical communication with at least one of:
• the first DC power source, or the second DC power source, via the at least one semiconductor element to receive at least one of:
• a first DC current flow from the first DC power source, or a second DC current flow from the second DC power source, the at least one semiconductor element configured to block a third DC current flow from the third DC power source to at least one of:
• the first DC power source, or the second DC power source;
• and
• provide the one or more electrically illuminated indicators with the third DC current flow via an operator-activated transition of the at least one electrical switch from the open position to the closed position, regardless of a magnitude of at least one of:
• the first DC current flow, or the second DC current flow, and the one or more electrically illuminated indicators remaining in electrical communication with at least one of:
• the first DC power source, or the second DC power source, with the at least one electrical switch transitioned to the closed position.
