Not sure why you posted it in this thread, but could you spare us your usual nonsense about advocates? The article makes the point well enough that people will get what's wrong with the assumptions behind the Skoda idea.

I do think that car signaling is deficient in that you can't tell the driver's intentions from the front, but it appears that Skoda wants to use red to indicate that a driver is going rather than stopping. That's pretty damn confusing as it's the opposite of brake lights but the same color.
