Anybody got Intelligent LED headlights?

I've just noticed something odd about mine and need to do some experiments but can anybody confirm/deny the following?

They seem to be able to differentiate between parked cars and cars being driven. That is, although a car with lit rear-lights triggers the dipping, a parked car whose rear reflectors are lit up by my headlights does not. Obviously, visually there is little difference between the two images.

It seems that the sensors can tell the difference between reflected light from the headlamps and incident light from another source.

Anyone noticed this?
