“The output of light from an LED is a certain frequency in hertz. Let’s say it’s 30 Hz from the LED and the camera recording it records at a common 24 frames per second. Every few frames recorded by the camera will not be in sync with the light source and thus a “blinking” occurs where the camera caught the LED in between cycles.”
i have believed this whole time that it was because the car was in race mode! i dont know too much about supercars do i?!
The blink of LED taillights should only be visible in super-slow motion as it appears with a frequency of ~120 Hz. Anything slower would not appear as a steady glow as our eye can see at 60 fps.

When you see those lights IRL they don’t blink :)
