The worst part is that there was one GPS manufacturer who actually did implement the feature you're talking about: http://cdn.itechnews.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Navigon-...
They were summarily purchased by Garmin and their devices are no longer for sale. The only remnant of their awesome Lane Assist Pro feature is in $30 GPS navigation apps.
It's really too bad.
But hey, if you're a clever person who knows how to code, please file a PR for this feature for Maps.me: https://github.com/mapsme/omim

Does presenting more data to the user help? There are situations where giving the operator more data leads only leads to false/overconfidence. I was just reading last week about experiments in the UK with removing painted lane lines, lines BETWEEN traffic directions. People drove slower and, hopefully, this means less accidents.
When the car primary control is the GPS that better change.
