are the flickering tail lights in the tesla VDO an artifact of 60cycle and 50 cycle "cross talk" inthe cameras '"eye"? I don't shop where I can't charge.

He should have rotated it 90 degrees before posting, though, since most of the clip was shot in landscape mode. I think Cor probably nailed it on the taillights. Interesting if Tesla's are indeed full on when braking. Most factory LED taillights are never full on, but are pulsed even when at full brightness. This lets the drivers overdrive the LEDs for more apparent brightness, without overheating them. The eye's persistence of vision fills in the off-time unless you or the lights move. (Interesting that a circuit to do this is presumably cheaper than higher-native-brightness LEDs.)
