Not signalling turns is something that I really don't understand. It requires minimal effort, doesn't slow you down in any way, and significantly increases safety. It's something that should be enforced much more.

I’ve heard the argument described like this:

Indicating I’d exactly that: indicating your intention to turn, which is useless information because it causes people to assume they know what you will do.

It’s not an entirely flawed argument.

It looks like Tesla AI doesn't take the signals into account, but only the car movements.
