The LED lights are indeed blinking. Definitely when they use the same lights for taillights and brake lights; those are practically all done by blinking the LEDs at a lower rate until the brake lights are supposed to come on, then putting them on solid. Or at least putting them on a higher duty cycle while the brake lights are on.

My wife seems to have a lower persistence of vision than most of us; the LED taillights drive her crazy. I can see them in my peripheral vision, or when I'm very tired.

Cadillacs seem to be the worst for blinking to me.
