Abstract
An inter-vehicle optical network a plurality of lights, a plurality of optical sensors arranged around the perimeter of the vehicle configured to gather light data regarding a light intensity and gradient of incoming light, a controller communicatively coupled with the plurality of lights and the plurality of optical sensors. The controller configured to receive the light data from the plurality of optical sensors, detect in the light data a second flashing light pattern emitted by an adjacent vehicle with a rhythm, a color, and/or a light intensity, adjust the light level of each light of the plurality of lights based on the light data, adjust the first flashing light pattern in response to the second flashing light pattern, and adjust the first flashing light pattern to synchronize the first flashing light pattern with the second flashing light pattern.
