Comment on Tesla is banned from driving schools because of new turn signals

With a traditional control, it is always in the same place in relation to your body. It doesn’t move. When it’s in the steering wheel, it can be in many, many different places. If you have media controls on your steering wheel, try using them during a turn without taking your eyes off the road. Now pretend they are smooth and act like a touch input on a dual shock controller.

As is the one on the wheel. Right next to your thumb.

Your thumb stays at the same place on the steering wheel when you’re not driving straight? O.o

Unless I’m making a very sharp turn (in which case my turn signal should already be on), yes, of course it does.

There are numerous times you would need to put your turn signal on when the steering wheel isn’t perfectly straight. A three point turn for instance. Exiting a roundabout in some places, a curved residential road. Just because you fail to think of scenarios it applies in, doesn’t mean it doesn’t apply.
