    I recently got a BMW i4 (their electric mid-size sedan). These new cars beep if you start to stray to the next lane without first engaging the turn signal.

    My company’s Sprinter van goes as far as yanking you back to your lane unless you engage the turn signal first.

    Damned tech ruining a good vintage meme.

        Ugh… I got to try those buttons the other day. Might work in an intersection. Horrible in a roundabout!!! No wonder nobody use them!

        There’s a Starbucks near me close to a complicated intersection. Without fail every Tesla making a left at the intersection does so directly into the rightmost lane (three lane street) then slams the brakes to turn right into the parking lot for Starbucks, all without a turn signal.
