In 20k miles entire car stopped working after in garage over weekend and no lights were on, no issue was found initially but battery was changed once in a new car in less than 2 years. Can can shut off in the middle of driving?

The rear backup light to less than adiquate. At night when backing up the light is so dim that I'm unsure if there are no obsticles in the way, like people and cars. A brighter light could avoid backing up accidents and injuries and possible deaths.
