Here's an Idea

The Turn Signal:

The turn signal needs to be addressed and finalized.

Nothing is more frustrating then this confounded turn signal debacle.

Cars are now equipped with computers and GPS, so think of this: Being able to add your route to the GPS with Signals!

If you take the same route each day, even with a coffee stop, this can all be automatically programmed to have the signal turn on 100 feet before your turn.

Not only that, it will TURN OFF once you make the turn based on your steering wheel.

Once the steering wheel is back to it's original position will it turn off automatically.

Yes, this happens now, but if the turn isn't sharp enough, the steering wheel won't turn it off, but the software will everytime!

Most newer vehicles will let you know that you have left your turn signal on, but it's still up to you to turn it off.

AVOID THE PROBLEM AND GO INTO THE SOLUTION!

People are very inconsiderate by nature and one of their inconsideration's is not letting you know that they are about to make a turn.

It's really sad that their life is so meaningless that the only entitlement they have is to not turn on their signal, but with the software, it's a thing of the past.

Also, if the user doesn't use the signal it will be recorded and a penalty will occur either with the Insurance Company, the Law or both, because using your signal is the Law...and that's a fact!

sidenote: Even Cops don't use their signals, and if they don't, why should we? Lead by example, and yes, a penalty will incur with them as well.

There are people that forget to turn on their signal also, due to one reason or another, but if they just input in their destination the turn signal will turn on and off all by itself while you concentrate on the road ;-)

Pretty simple stuff.

The tough part is the unexpected journey without a destination, how will the car know when you are going to turn if it's not programmed?

That's the "Manual" option or the "Womanual" option ;-) which is still unpredictable, but with the Penalty Factor that's on "ALL" the time, will motivate those people to start using their Turn Signal :-)

**UPDATE**
AI would be used if you travel outside your regular daily routine. People typically have the same routine.

Go to work, go to the grocery store, pick up the kids, go to the cabin. So if traveled more than once a pattern will be remembered and a routine will be created.
