This is a seriously overlooked thing by auto makers!

Why is it that my car can automatically turn the headlights on and off, automatically turn the wipers on if it rains, automatically brake, automatically center the car between the lines, automatically adjust the AC, automatically adjust the seat to my settings, automatically sync with my phone, and automatically update its own software, but can’t automatically turn off the damn blinker after a mile of driving with it on?! 🤦‍♂️

Obviously, you didn't complete a full.turn!

@samueltyler2 We have eight and 10 lane freeways here… Multiple lane changes are frequently necessary

@Zaphod42 i wonder if there is a way to adjust the blinkers for that. I usually just move the stall a bit without completing the clock.

@samueltyler2 Nothing I can find in settings for it. Just so easy to forget to turn it back off in bumper to bumper traffic trying to move over 4 lanes. Oh well, maybe one of these days someone in development will get behind someone on the freeway with their blinker on for miles and have that idea for the next model, lol

@Zaphod42 do you not have the option to just hold it without a full click?

Zaphod42 · 51-55, M

@samueltyler2 it’s an option, sure, but in bumper to bumper traffic traversing multiple lanes? Not exactly practical.

@samueltyler2 And to be clear, it’s is mostly a thing I’d like to see implemented mostly because of how many times I get in traffic behind someone else who has their blinker on for miles, seemingly oblivious to it. Sure that happens to me from time to time as well, but that’s not nearly as irritating, lol

@Zaphod42 it is an automatic activity, I honestly don't know how I do it. There is an interchange ingo through.apmodtneverydsybwhichni call my white knuckle merge. I need to pay attention to how i do it and report to you.
