Comment on Turquoise taillights tell you this Mercedes is driving autonomously

Kinda wish we’d just leave blue (or off-variants like turquoise) lights for emergency vehicles only.

I like the idea of an indicator, just not the execution.

Emergency vehicles’ lights blink and are on the roof. Using the same color for multiple lights isn’t an issue; see: breaking lights and tail lights.

  Also judging by the picture it’s more of a white-blue than the bright blue used by emergency vehicles.

They can’t be blue which is why they chose turquoise.

  Depends on the state. You must live in one of the relatively sane ones.
  
  I live in Oklahoma, where it’s either legal or not enforced. Tow trucks, construction vehicles, you name it. Blue lights everywhere. And not turquoise or some other “technically not blue” loophole color, but like “they bought their overhead lights from a cop car manufacturer and stuck it on their roof as is” solid fucking blue.
  
  I hate it.
