Training will not help a driver localize where a EV is approaching from. I'm not suggesting this system would supplant traditional warning systems, but would simply augment them with additional information. It would allow drivers to make better decisions about how to yield, rather than having the decision forced upon them when I'm suddenly right on top of them.
If it's relevant, I'm firefighter/paramedic, been driving EVs for a decade or so.
- cpher 12y agoI live in Chicago, and sometimes it's really hard to tell where the EV is coming from. They're ear-piercingly loud, and the sound bounces everywhere. You hear the siren, then frantically start checking all your mirrors every 0.5 sec, which probably creates more of a distraction to the driving you should be doing.
