This morning I was sitting in a parking lot, preparing to back out. I put the car in reverse and when the backup camera came on, I saw something odd on the front of a car parked behind me. There was a brief flash of light emanating from the area of it's high beams with a 1 second cadence.... blink-blink-blink. I turned around to look at it directly and I saw nothing flashing. Apparently whatever it was, it was operating in the near-IR range. I did a double take just to make sure that I wasn't seeing a reflection off of something else - I wasn't.
So what was this thing? Some sort of infrared obstruction sensing system? It was a newer car but I didn't get the make/model.
:thinking:
