No; something quite different, and about this car, in particular.

There appears to be a small light on the front mudguard, connected to the front axle.
Also a cable running from the front to the guy sitting in the back wearing headphones?
Anything to do with testing brake lights?

The light on the mud guard is well spotted. Nice work!

The guy in the back is not wearing headphones.

Nothing to do with brake lights.

The white dots serve the same general purpose, and are the key to the solution!

has it something to do with movies?

I see six white spots. two a the wheels center, two at the mudguards (on top of front and rear) and two spots on the passengers (one on the driver's shoulder and one on the rear passenger's head)

You are on the beam! Why would somebody want to film those lights on a car?

Something to do with the measurement of movement of the car and passengers as it passes over the hump in the road?
