The cars sport turquoise lights on its rear-view mirrors, headlights, and taillights to let law enforcement and other drivers know when the car is operating autonomously.

That's actually a pretty neat solution lol

When Verge tested the EQS in September these turquoise lights weren't road-legal yet. It's been proposed as a standard by the SAE but each jurisdiction will have to approve it individually.
