There was a European car years ago and I can't remember the name. When you were stopped and your steering wheel was not perfectly straight it would put on the turn signals for you. That could be handy for some lazy drivers.

One could really confuse people just by turning the wheel right/left at a stop light with that set up.

And I really wish they would. I got involved in an accident that could've been avoided if a signal was used. Worst case scenario, the accident would have minimal damage and not totaled my previous vehicle 
Huge pet peeve of mine on the road. The driver knows that they're turning, but never considers the others around them and subsequent reactions.

Sadly, I've noticed that if I signal a lane change, the troll in the next lane will speed up so the change can't be safely made. Damn near have to make the lane change and hit the signal stalk at the same time.

Better mileage on the highway by 1 mile per gallon. A special lower geared rear end for the bracket racers. An interior with white seats. White letter tires in an assortment of brands along with a choice or combination of red,blue, or white lettered tires to help compliment the painted calipers. Maybe even 2 toned lettered tires in different colors. Extra tough guard paint in the areas that chip easily on the front end and behind the front and rear wheel wells. A built in lockable pistol holder. A larger gas tank for those super long trips and a lockable gas cap. A choice of different shift handles and colors on the automatic and manual shifters.

I think we ll see new colors and wheel designs.
What I'd like to see is 500 hp and the A10 as an option..at least for the grand sport..
We can dream can't we....
Always fun to take a few guesses on future corvettes

as far as turn signals and I are concerned, the turn is the signal.

An A10, why do you want that? The transmission will be shifting all the time actually hurting performance. There are laws of physics that come into play. I have a 2016 Colorado with an A6, that transmission shifts more than I like. Actually have to drive in a way so the transmission has time to get to the correct gear. I never thought much about the time needed to shift, not any more.

I realize the A8 and the A10 are quicker than the manual transmission.cars...I'm still deciding if I want the quicker car or the one that's more analog and a little slower.
In years past...when the manuals were quicker it was always an easy decision...now not so much since the better performer is the dam computerized automatic...

After reading your snarky post a part of me hopes you get into some sort of accident as a result of not using your turn signal, just to teach you a lesson.
Is that bad?
