  I genuinely don’t see the problem with those. Amber lights on the left side of the car light up, that can only mean one thing. There is no ambiguity there whether they’re playing snake or just flashing. I have never, on no occasion, found myself confused by those.

    I find them distracting. There are useful innovations, and there are pointless gimmicks.

  Huh. I think it looks kind of cool? Is it that hard to see?

  Is it possible that you’re just following too close if you feel these new turn signals aren’t fast enough for you to react?

    Is it possible that you have not been driving for the last 35 years seeing a solid block of flashing light, so your brain is not yet hardwired to recognise that and only that?

  Only if mandatory rear lights come back as well. Having them animate in the direction they are going to turn are very helpful when the car has no other rear lights whatsoever.
