Systems/techniques that facilitate object detection in darkness during vehicle operation are provided. In various embodiments, a system can detect one or more objects on or alongside a road. In various aspects, the system can detect light from an approaching vehicle to determine an illuminated area, and determine if the one or more objects are located in the illuminated area. In various instances, the system can perform, in response to a determination that the one or more objects are not located in the illuminated area, a risk assessment on the one or more objects based on parameters of the one or more objects. Based on a risk level determined by the risk assessment, the system can transmit notifications to the approaching vehicle and execute various safety actions.
