#4> Tesla’s reasoning for going away with a method universally used for signaling turn for decades is that it enables them to remove a physical part, the stalk, and it believes activating a turn signal will soon be unnecessary with the advent of self-driving.
That is some impressive levels of "we know better than you / everyone else" thinking.

That is the reason they went out of their way to make an awful turn signal interface?! Yeesh, ok then. There are enough other things I hate about their UX that I won't be buying a Tesla anyway, but if I were on the fence about one these silly turn buttons would be enough to turn me off.

What does any of this have to do with Norway?

#7I don’t drive, so I’m a little unclear as to what the issue is with Tesla’s force-touch turn signals specifically in roundabouts. The article only states that it’s a problem, but not how it’s a problem. Could anyone elaborate?
To be clear - I can understand why this design is awful more generally. What I don’t understand is the problem it poses specifically in roundabouts since that seems to be the central point of the article.

Using touch interfaces whilst driving is very difficult, you generally have to look at the button, taking your eyes off the road, to press the right thing. Tesla also put both indicator buttons on the same side of the steering wheel, it’s not naturally intuitive at all.

> he also found a specific case where they are dangerous: roundabouts/
In Norway, you have to indicate your exit in a roundabout by activating your turn signal, and he found it difficult while turning the steering wheel, which you have to do in a roundabout.
The article clearly articulates one scenario..
