Imagine a kid runs out on the road suddenly... What a dumb fucking idea!

Correct. A dumb idea is exactly what she was asked to produce.

They also asked for ideas that would make the world a better place, which this wouldn't. So it's just a dumb idea with mainly negative side effects.

I think they weren't asking for an idea that would actually make the world a better place but rather one that somebody on some level believes would make the world a better place. Hence it still being a stupid idea.

If it were somehow magically possible to force people to use turn signals but only when they turn at intersections or change lanes, I think it would, in fact, make the world a better place. Because it would mean less car crashes.

But it's not possible, which is why it's a dumb idea.

The blood of children must be sacrificed if we want to live in a world with good driving etiquette

Or a road with a bend in it... 😅

The smarter version of this idea is the turn signal comes on automatically in the direction you turn.

[–] Aux@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's not. The point of a turning signal is to give a warning to fellow drivers in advance. Turning it on right when you're turning is way too late. Just learn to drive properly for fucks sake!

The smarter version of a dumb idea is still a dumb idea. No one is advocating seriously for any of this because of the obvious flaws.
