I have a prototype self driving system in my car. It drives logically and consistently, but it doesn't behave like a human.

This would be a really helpful feature as self driving becomes more common.

And I live in California. Of course we're going to help rich people avoid all consequences of their actions. Because paying attention to where your 1 ton metal missile is going is too much to ask. But only if you can afford the turquoise lights.

The point of the lights obviously being to push the responsibility onto the drivers around the self-driven car, rather than the manufacturer who actually made the faulty autopilot.
