Most cars in America have, at most, three colors of lights on the outside. There’s white for headlights and reverse lights, red for brake lights and rear lights plus, in some cars, amber for turn signals. Mercedes-Benz has just gotten approval to add a fourth color. Turquoise blue lights indicate when a Mercedes car is driving itself.
Looks like a different blue, but my understanding is that blue lights are reserved for police.
Edit: it was selected because it’s clearly different from the police color.
The article and the autoTLDR comment both say they were approved to use turquoise
Approved by who though?
It mentions an organization that has no authority over road laws in any US state, or EU, or anywhere else. So what?
The article says Nevada and California, I would assume it’s those states respective departments of transportation.
Blue is for priority vehicles, not just police.
Depends entirely on the state/jurisdiction in the US.
That is surprisingly not a federal law.
I thought it was part of the Vienna convention of 1968. But I just checked and the US aren’t a part of it.
