    Turn signals need to telegraph what you are planning to do, not show what you’re in the process of doing.

      In the book version of Hitchhiker’s guide to Galaxy highly advanced elevators are given limited precognition in order to proactively be on the floor and open just as someone wanting to use an elevator arrives. So maybe in some highly advanced future where we inexplicably still use cars our turn signals can see a few seconds into the future and turn themselves on before we turn.

        Ah, but instead they would use that to shove an advertisement into your eyeballs as you walk around a corner.
