California DMV motor vehicle code, in part says
25251. (a) Flashing lights are permitted on vehicles as follows: (1) To indicate an intention to turn or move to the right or left upon a roadway, turn signal lamps and turn signal exterior pilot indicator lamps and side lamps permitted under Section 25106 may be flashed on the side of a vehicle toward which the turn or movement is to be made.
If you feel that the mini is in violation by failing to do it's most basic of job of indicating left or right, file a complaint with the investigations division, and this state with the largest number of car registrations can fix it by forcing a recall or blocking registrations until it it fixed by the mfg https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv-complaints-ffinv-1/
From what I have seen of American cars, this one is completely compliant. The horrible part about this car is that the signals are red and that they are the same light as the rear/brake lights. Which is apparently extremely common in the US.
With an app like COVIDSafe, where you require to have mass adoption of the app to work (there is no use having 10% of phones operating in the wild with the app installed, you require more like 80-90%, ideally every phone running the app.)
Instead, every techie I spoke to either hated it wasn't open source; or used the fact that the app was based on Singapore's app, but was not subsequently open sourced itself.
I feel that if the powers that be had changed the way that the source was developed, worked with the public a little closer that maybe these issues would not have existed.
But sadly, the damage for COVIDSafe was already done in the first few weeks. There was no resuscitation possible.
I liken it to how the AstraZeneca vaccine was dissed in the media. A small chance of clots was heralded as a major issue, which lead to a extremely slow uptake of a vaccine that is for the most part perfectly fine.
Add to that the fact that privacy was never really enacted for the use of the data gathered by COVIDSafe (and other similar contact tracing tools, for example in Sydney, NSW https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/breach-of-trust-poli... ) and you have a perfect storm of an app that no-one really keeps installed.
COVIDSafe was dead on arrival.
Shortly after, Android and iOS released a proper API for doing this which worked in the background but the government did not use it.
