The Doppler effect in action! When the blue car approaches, light waves compress, making it appear blue. As it speeds away, the waves stretch out and—boom—suddenly it's red! The exact same phenomenon that makes ambulance sirens go from "weeEEEE" to "EEEEeee" as they pass by. This old guy's either witnessing physics in real-time or he's desperately overdue for an eye exam. Either way, his confusion is basically a walking physics lecture without the boring PowerPoint slides.
