I came up with this idea more than 20 years ago as a way for cars to tell each other about events ahead of them. Imagine if you’re on a two-lane road heading away from an deer and you pass vehicles going the opposite direction. Your car could relay that information to then and have it age out after a few minutes.
It’s like flashing your lights at oncoming traffic to warn them of a speed trap ahead
Exactly!
Is that why people randomly flash their lights at me? I just thought they were assholes.
That or you’re driving after dark with your lights off 😅
You probably need to adjust your headlights, or take out the HIDs if you have reflectors
