How’s that missing turn signal stalk supposed to work when you’re supposed to signal turn well in advance of actually turning? If you’re using GPS, then it might be enough but people miss turns all the time, change their minds due to traffic conditions and the information in GPS systems is not always correct.
- cynix 6y agoIt’s the forward/reverse gear selection that’s missing. There appear to be physical controls for turn signals.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the car will simply "guess" which way the driver wants to go based on sensor data and navigation maps. Tesla is expected to include backup controls as well, leaving drivers to use the touchscreen for selecting drive, and steering-wheel controls for turn signals. Just does not sound like a good idea at all.
