Blind Spot Camera View Only for Lane Changes
23
Description
Only display the blindspot camera view when using the turn signal while moving. When stopped, hide the view.
Competitive/Pricing/Notes
As implemented, the side pillar camera comes on with an inset video on the display when the left or right turn signal is on – if you enable this feature on new cars.
I would like yet another option to only use this option for lane changes. For example, I don’t need it when I’m sitting at a stoplight waiting to make a turn. I find I’m almost always swiping it away.

In places with many cyclists/2-wheelers the rearview camera is useful even when turning at corners. I’d rather have the image higher up the screen with a kind of warning or
visual indication if something is detected!

Annoying - perhaps. I can't tell if your comment is sarcastic...
Use of turn signals are required by law, even if you are in a turn only lane, in many jurisdictions. The California Vehicle Code, for example, does not make any exemptions for required use of turn signals in dedicated lanes: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?sectionNum=22108&lawCode=VEH#:~:text=22108.,by%20the%20vehicle%20before%20turning.

Not sure why people think they need their turn signal on when you are sitting at a stop sign/light in a left/right turn lane?? Being in the turn lane should be indication enough that you are turning. I actually don't like to see that blinking light when I'm behind someone in a turn lane - it's just annoying - turn it off - I know you are turning!!
