What are the new laws?
- m463 7y agohmmm. I thought it was this year, but it has been pushed off one more year. FMVSS No. 141 says electric cars have to make a noise https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/02/26/2018-03721/federal-motor-vehicle-safety-standard-no-141-minimum-sound-requirements-for-hybrid-and-electric https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/02/26/2018-03...
- brokenmachine 7y agoOh, great. We've finally made a way to lower the noise from cars, so let's make it a requirement for them to make noise. I couldn't find in that link exactly how loud they want the beeps to be. What about deaf people? Shouldn't the cars be made to have flashing lights as well?
