Do you think there will be a ban on combustion engines completely in the future? Hearing the engine roar is something I will miss.

- jimmytidey 4y agoI absolutely understand the appeal of ic cars, and (I assume), everyone will still be able to hear an engine roar at a race track or other private space. Engines roaring in a city might be nice for some, but for most it's just noise pollution, particularly offensive noise pollution at that. The lack of noise will be a huge benefit to electric cars.
- alexandargyurov 4y agoYep agree, countryside and private spaces will most likely be where ic cars live.
- Gud 4y agoI’m in the other camp. The sooner we get rid of the assholes revving their engines the better.
- alexandargyurov 4y agoI'm with you as well, in cities that is, but I should still be able to do it at a racetrack or the long country roads where I won't offend people.
- Gud 4y agoCouldn’t agree more!
- Symbiote 4y agoMy grandfather thought the 'whoosh'[1] of a steam locomotive's cylinders was wonderful, and thought the diesel and electric locomotives that replaced them were 'soulless'. But look at the filth they created! [2] (The shafts of light show how smokey it is in there). His hobby was travelling round the country to see old steam trains running on preserved/heritage railways. That's fine, and fans of ICE cars will probably be able to watch races, drive on private roads/racetracks etc. [1] https://youtu.be/UwfM8SNoMtk?t=448 https://youtu.be/UwfM8SNoMtk?t=448 [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:St_Pancras_2_railway_station_2115487_10c7b92d.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:St_Pancras_2_railway_stat...
