    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.
