Additionally, in many jurisdictions it is legally required to signal intent a short distance before initiating your turn. So you can still get a ticket for having your signal on when you turn due to you failing to signal intent early enough.

I don't see how a car can read your mind to know your intent. You can only maybe have an option if you're using navigation and the car knows a turn is coming up you'll take in x feet? But that doesn't align with any of the current auto systems BMW is shipping in the G30 (or any of their cars from my understanding).
