A system includes an array of photodiode sensors positioned on an autonomous vehicle. Each photodiode sensor in the array of photodiode sensors is oriented in a different direction and configured to generate electrical current signals in response to detecting a flashing light in a surrounding environment of the autonomous vehicle. The system also includes a processor coupled to the array of photodiode sensors. The processor is configured to determine a location of a source of the flashing light relative to the autonomous vehicle based on electrical current signals from at least one photodiode sensor in the array of photodiode sensors. The processor is also configured to generate a command to maneuver the autonomous vehicle based on the location of the source relative to the autonomous vehicle.
