According to Tesla, it is an old-fashioned idea to let the drivers operate the turn signal and have developed a system that predicts when we're going to change lanes or directions.
A patent application for automated operation of a vehicle's direction indicator is requested by Tesla. They say that it would be possible to anticipate that the driver will soon change direction or band and that if they detect another vehicle in the vicinity who needs to be informed about it, they will be able to predict autonomous traffic sensors (steering angle sensors, cameras, ultrasonic sensors, etc.) , the vehicle automatically turns the indicator on.
In the automotive industry there are still some aspirations to alert the driver to the direction of the car; according to Tesla, it is better to completely omit the human factor.
The patent application was published today by the US Patent Office; no more details are known.
