Staying in rural Belgium for the last few days has meant I drive more than usual, I'm late to noticing this manifestation in #audi #automobile #interfacing:

WTF is this about, I know cars and ‘tech’ are blending, but I don't think I've yet seen such a condescending interfacing reinvention.

The turn signal is a convention that has been established for decades, this animation references surface level smoothness that has no place in vehicles.

I've been thinking more about this, and as they are breaking conventions, why did #audi not also use the other indicator light in the reverse way? https://mastodon.cloud/media/GSvykD5Q5GKEUBhil5Q
