They mention laws. It's infuriating that we're legislating in a requirement for noise pollution. The driver is already responsible for not running people down, including deaf people and people listening to music.
- brenschluss 8y ago> The driver is already responsible for not running people down, including deaf people and people listening to music I know! If only the driver wasn’t responsible, society would be so much better!
- rtkwe 8y agoSilent cars are more dangerous to blind or otherwise impaired people and just general makes it easier for people to notice cars it's a complement to driver awareness.
- Doxin 7y agoMost of the noise a car makes at residential speeds is tire noise, modern ICE engines are startlingly quiet already.
- whenchamenia 8y agoI agree. As an ICE holdout, even modern combustion engines are usually quieter than the tire on pavement sound. I doubt the complaint of 'silent electric killers' holds any real weight.
