So the left turn signal is an arrow pointing to the right? And the right turn signal is an arrow pointing to the left? How does that pass, well, anything at all without someone saying “that might not be the best idea”!
How could anyone be confused? They’re on the side the car is turning - like every other turn signal you’ve seen in your entire life.

The article talks about this: "Now, I think the vast majority of drivers will understand what’s going on and treat them as normal blinking turn indicators, but these indicators hurt your brain, at least a little bit" I think you are interpreting "confused" as "I can't tell which way the car is turning", while everyone else is talking about "This UX forces me to use my brain when I shouldn't have to".
How hard is it to go: oh, the left hand side indicator is blinking. It's possible they might turn left. It's common bloody sense. This is honestly manufactured outrage.
Not hard at all, which is why this isn't a problem if you have enough time to think all that.
This is a problem in the tiny minority of cases where it's night, it's raining, you're either going too fast or maybe blinded by someone's high beams and all your brain can process in a split second is BLINKING ARROW LEFT.
My humble take: it's actually not meant to be an arrow - although it does indeed look like one - but the part of the embedded Union Jack that lights up.

I guess I don't know what the author thinks they mean about 'hurt your brain'.

I had to just laugh at your comment. It’s either brilliant sarcasm or you just might be the guy that designed this.
Conforming to the international norm of amber turn signals would seem to be an obvious win?

What if it’s dark outside. Is that a motorcycle? I can’t tell. I guess that motorcycle is turning left.
If it’s dark, both rear red lights will be on. It could be motorcycles, if they are really close together but that sounds unlikely.
