On a similar theme, every time I get caught in stop and go traffic I wish we had tail lights that indicated letting off the gas. Like an orange light to say, "I'm no longer accelerating but I haven't applied the brake yet." I feel like everyone could coordinate traffic flow better with a little extra information, but I fear (much like these turquoise lights and adaptive cruise control) assholes will just game the system anyway to ruin everything.

Especially with a lot of new EVs on the road that use regenerative breaking if your foot is off the gas.
