These anti-safety features are getting more common and annoying. My personal peeves are turn indicator lights that are red instead of orange and then on top of that are the animated ones. Cute, but now I have extra processing to do, often at night, in the train, to figure out whether they're braking or turning. Of course this is a non-issue on BMWs.

Or headlights that turn off when the turn indicator comes on. Or strobing bicycle headlights that blind drivers for a split second before making the cyclist invisible in the absence of light the next moment.

My favorite, is the removal of almost all physical buttons, encouraging drivers to dig into menus on touch screens rather than looking at the fucking road.

This isn’t new. This is a long standing problem with American regulations prioritizing manufacturers saving a few cents at the expense of their customers lives
