if we need warning lights for ANYTHING, the humanity is just not ready.

One could argue that brake lights are a warning light πŸ€”.

Turn signals are literally called warning lights in my language.

No, they literally are warning lights, warning you the car is slowing down. It has no other purpose than to provide information (warning) to others about what you are doing.

Same purpose as warning labels: to keep ding dongs alive so they can spend more money
