No turn signal MFers.
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s… Disproportionate Response Man!
Completely proportionate. Many people die from the laziness of people who refuse to flick a switch.
Pretty sure that's just Justice Lord Superman.
Beamers beware!
Lmao holy crap
You'd probably like the movie Shoot 'Em Up.
Going too easy on him.

You can drive however, just fucking tell me what you're doing so I can navigate safely around you 🥹
How many people have you ripped in half to date?
I don't think he's gonna be using turn signals any time soon.
Also not gonna be intentionally not using them.
Idea: cars all have too much AI in them anyway, let's make good use of it. If a car detects that the driver turns or changes lanes without signaling 5 times in a row, it caps the speed to 50 km/h (or 30 in an urban area) for 5 minutes. Make this a mandatory safety feature in all new cars, like how they make noises if you don't wear a seatbelt.
The fact that modern cars are backseat drivers but not competent drivers is why I don't own a car anymore. Don't get me wrong, I used signals, but it's a million little nitpicks that add up. They're features for other people, not the user, that I'm only buying because I have no real choice. Heaven forbid any actual legal enforcement of those rules by people - it must be done by making products more annoying.
Cars (and humans) can either drive for me or STFU about my driving.
Lets not make it unsafe for other people.
Just add a really loud horn every time they forget their turn signal.
Unironically, this is the best solution. Make it more annoying to not use the signal than to use it. Shake the wheel, sound an alarm, nudge back into the lane. Make using turn signals the selfish option. Lots of cars already do this to some small extent.
Ah yes, make things even more dangerous by forcing people to drive too slow on the highway.
I'm all for punishing bad drivers, but absolutely no need for AI there.
How do you detect these occurrences then? You can't differentiate a lane change from a curving road without analyzing the environment.
You think we need AI for a car to do that?
I mean you do if you want investors pumped up while you plan your golden parachute exit
Back when I had a car, it had lane-keeping assistance. It followed road lines and edges automatically, which meant it also resisted turning into any lines and edges it detected if you didn't have your signal on. Could probably keep a counter for lane changes and turns at marked intersections.
Yeah, that's AI in my book. It's almost certainly the output of machine learning using lots of sensor data, trained on mountains of older data. How is that not AI?
machine learning is not ai

Community Rules

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
