Between the fact that the light changes its blinking pattern for the car as it approaches, plus the fact that you are actively moving over, it seems to greatly improve both the driver's ability to see you, while also making them feel seen/watched as well, which improves their behavior.

The portion that senses the car and changes the blinking pattern or intensity makes sense to me. Is there a version of light that does this only? There are enough distractions ahead of me that I don't necessarily want the computer adding to it.
