Thanks for the contribution. It may be a very small detail but very helpful. I make use of it quite often when driving a rented car.

As someone with ADHD I make use of if often, even in my own car lol.
It's also nice that it made it to EVs, my EV has the arrow!

I had no idea this was a thing.
I'd assume there's a patent forbidding non Ford cars from having it.

According to this article, Moylan chose not to patent it.
