High frequency blinking rear lights?

When a new car (1-2 yo) passes me I sometimes think that its rear lights are blinking at a high frequency. Almost too fast to notice, I usually only see it with the corner of my eye as the car whooooshes past.

Is it me, or do they really blink? I'll add that often they don't look like LEDs. It has crossed my mind that maybe the blinking reduces electrical load, but what for? The savings would not be noticible, much simpler things could give much bigger FC savings.
