   @RandomDamage @thomasfuchs I agree! But I just struggle to believe that many people would look at the back of this vehicle and interpret meaning in those shapes. There's too much other context going on - this is a car, there's a lamp on both sides, like all cars the side the lamp is on will flash to indicate a turn.

   If you even get to the point of recognizing it's an arrow, I don't know how you could then think that they mean anything at all since they're pointing inward.

     @thomasfuchs So you looked at that video and believed the car was signaling for a right turn? Or even could be signaling for a right turn?

     If that was your first conclusion, then I'll happily eat my words.

     @thomasfuchs Then consider my words eaten.

     I guess you are experiencing a type of information overload which is foreign to me. There's not much point trying to dig at this, but my gut tells me that either my brain doesn't recognize symbols as quickly or else the other bits of context become apparent first which is why I'm not parsing the symbol as relevant if I even parse it at all.
