    Kinda wish we’d just leave blue (or off-variants like turquoise) lights for emergency vehicles only.

    I like the idea of an indicator, just not the execution.

      Emergency vehicles’ lights blink and are on the roof. Using the same color for multiple lights isn’t an issue; see: braking lights and tail lights.

        Also judging by the picture it’s more of a white-blue than the bright blue used by emergency vehicles.
