Software engineering idea: Tesla should make all of their blinkers’ timing based on the vehicle’s internal clock. That way, every single Tesla blinker in the world is synced. Beauty in the details 👌

The clocks in the cars would always be off ever so slightly but this is theoretically possible within the human perception

One step further… use their GPS location and have every foot of difference be a ms delay. Each car is about 25-30 feet long, it would flow from one to the next.

They all have highly accurate GPS clocks (~1 microsecond), so definitely possibly. Can a turn signal legally start with a fraction of regular on timebor does it need a full cycle? Can it be delayed to the next cycle time?

I didn't want to be that guy, but someone had to verify that 😉

And make the cars fart in sync too when blinking.

I've seen multiple emergency vehicles at a crash site before and all their lights were synced. Turns out it's on purpose and that's a good thing.

With time dilation, you will know who speeds the most 😂 Also, it is technically super challenging. The best case is to periodically ping a time server and subtract ping. The error can still be at a few milliseconds. Unless we have an atomic clock.

Apple does this with their wristwatch. Every Mickey Mouse watch face taps their foot exactly in time. Apple even demoed this once!

Tesla’s are on Unix time already

I’d rather they synchronize traffic light timing data to manage how quickly someone should approach lights for max efficiency.
