What about roads that curve? A signal could be misleading in such a situation.

Motherboard front panel connectors should be officially standardized. These fucking things have been basically the same since the 90s, but we still have to line up all the individual wires instead of having one plug.
Oh, and fix RGB headers while we're at it. They're the flimseist fucking thing, and you shouldn't be able to use a 4 pin plug on a three pin header.
Make the manufacturers comply with standard rgb headers. I’ve got several accessories that came with rgb headers that I have no idea what the hell they were supposed to connect to other than maybe some proprietary controller. Absurd when most any decent common mobo all use the same connector type.
They said dumb ideas.

I still like to think the thing from Fight Club where they blow up all the central banks would be cool.
The idea of "destroy the banks and free everyone" is in so many movies and shows. Sneakers, Mr. Robot, Fight Club. Hell, even Tuvok had a gang of teenage hackers "ethically distribute" money in SeaQuest.
I'm destroying war, corruption. I'm ripping the heart out of greed! [as they both battle to hack into and out of the world bank]
It does have some historical precedent. In the ancient Near East it was common for all debts to be destroyed every decade or so.
Mr Robot definitely had my favorite execution of the idea. Destroying the tape backups with their own environmental control system was just the best. I still feel bad about the nice security guard guy though :(
That movie is wilder than I remember….
We don't talk about it...
I have a GM vehicle with lane tracking, and this is actually kinda how it works! The steering wheel will mildly fight you unless you activate the signal, then BAM you merge right over. It reminds me of an AT-field
All along the AT field was just Angel driver assist!
What about parallel parking or just readjusting while parking in general?
You don't use a turn signal when parallel parking?
I do use the blinkers to show that I'm backing in, but I would still have to turn the wheel to reposition.
My blinkers would go right, then left, then right again, and maybe left once more if I'm parking facing towards the top of a hill.
Just throw on the hazard lights. Double turn signals, do whatever you want.
