  Heads up, it’s actually keyboard and chair, not keyboard and computer

    Dang it, sometimes I just type stuff and dont think about what I typed (the irony of what I was writing out)

  Problem In Chair, Not In Computer

    And never forget about the I-D ten T error.

    Oh, you think I need a new chair? Will the Internet come back then?

  I’ve actually always found it weird with all the automation vehicles have, that blinkers aren’t linked to the wheel. it already automatically disengages when turning, it shouldn’t be too hard to have it auto engage as well when turning

    The thing is, you want the turn signal to turn on before the start of the turn, so other drivers, pedestrians, cyclists can react.

      I cannot stand how in some vehicles if I turn on the signal to indicate I am planning to change lanes, it will beep at me that there is a car there. I’m indicating I plan on it. Not that I’m turning the wheel right this second. I know there is a car to my side, I’m going to change lanes behind it, but am indicating mostly to the car behind them.

      agreed, I don’t think the blinker switch should be removed, but a late indicator is better than no indicator.

        How would that work? On the highway, a slight nudge on a straight means you’ll cross a lane, meaning turn signals on.

        A kilometer later, the exact same slight nudge could mean it’s just a light turn in the road, meaning signals off.

        Now you could mandate cameras in all vehicles, which analyze your driving and turn on the turn signals when it thinks you’re making a turn. Now who’s responsible in a false positive if someone else dodges you and crashes because you suddenly turned on the signals without turning? Except it wasn’t you, but your car. Oh and also you made entry level cars 10k more expensive, making them way more inaccessible if you aren’t rich.
