Yeah the idea is solid, the execution.... unsettling!
I think a better solution might be something like a few large lights with aimable lenses and about the level of brightness of a traffic light. The lenses allow you to direct the lighting such that a person being "focused" on sees a clear indicator on the vehicle, but someone outside that focus area would not see the light.
Im sure there's more to it than that, but a way to signal to pedestrians that the vehicle is aware of them and waiting for them to move solves a real problem.
