They are not cascading. It's because of they are "hidden" so at certain angles the camera can't see the light or a little of it but then does see more. It starts seeing it from higher up and then down. Notice it isn't capturing the whole light. At one point the camera is still, not moving and how it is positioned it sees the driver side somewhat but not the passenger side lights.

 

Not sure. Since the camera is not moving, why would the lights change at all? I saw it do this with my own eyes on my car and wondered why the pattern wasn't synchronized. Maybe they go trough different patterns separately when the battery is charging from the engine?? Maybe I am crazy?!? I saw it on another video (which I can't find), but maybe it is just a angled lighting trick. Would be kinda cool if it actually does this. I'll mess some more with my lights in park.

 

Of course the camera is moving even ever so slightly. As I said it is tied to the hidden aspect Hyundai uses that does this when you video it. They 100% do not cascade, only can appear to.

Further in many (most, all?) States it would illegal for moving lights.

 

These days it feels like I can't drive anywhere in my area without passing half a dozen NX4 Tucsons, and they all seem to have their DRLs on solid when they're driving, and completely off when they are parked. I've never seen anything else on my car or any other in real life. The only place I've seen flickering DRLs on Tucsons is on YouTube videos, and always assumed that it was just the same kind of video frame-rate wierdness that makes rapidly spinning wheels look like they are moving slowly or even spinning backwards.

 

IF this happens, it would only be in Park. I'll try some things in Park to see if I can get it to happen. Thought maybe it would be a cool effect when the hybrid battery is charging from the engine. Doubting myself now. Likely just a camera/ frame rate effect.

 

Seems to me that DOT regulations would not allow a manufacturer to produce a car that was able to do this. Flashing lights have always been the exclusive realm of emergency vehicles, police, etc.

 

OK, thanks for the video. Others said same (camera frame rate effect). I thought I saw it with my own eyes, not through the camera. Maybe I am bionic? Would be a cool effect when in Park through.

 

All LED lights flicker. That's how they work: rapidly toggling on and off. The good ones will flash so fast your eyes can't see it, the bad one will be noticeably flickering (or the broken ones too).

Camera sensors is not like your eyes, they takes individual snapshot (frame) in time, so it's possible for camera to capture these "dark" moment. The patterns of the dark spots depend on the type of the sensor inside the camera.

Here's another video where the guy point out the flashing pattern and explain it's because of the camera:

 

the frequency of the lights and your camera are different giving the illusion of doing something that your eye sees differently.

 

LED's are one of those modern day miracles. I'm so glad they were invented. More light, less heat, less power used. And it's not just in our cars, for example, consider ordinary flashlights. To borrow an old saying, we've come a long way baby.

 

Exactly! Lighting before relied on heat to produce a light. The filament was heated to a point it "burned" and just like a campfire our ancestors sat around, there was light. Heat and light. It is a modern day invention, the LED. I really wish I could hang around another hundred years just to see the new "gadgets".

 

AI will be using us as batteries. We showed up at a good time
