I have no problem with manufacturers including fake engine noise as a feature as long as it can be disabled by the customer.

- e40 12y agoPerhaps it should just be used when a pedestrian is near? It's bad enough worrying about cars that are making legal maneuvers, but when an electric car doesn't follow the rules, it's that much more dangerous.
- kylec 12y agoI think you might misunderstand the nature of the artificial sounds mentioned in this article. It's not talking about electric cars making noise for the benefit of pedestrians (although that does get a cursory mention), it's talking about manufacturers of pumping artificial car noises into the cabins of cars like the Ford Mustang and the BMW M5 for the enjoyment of the occupants of the vehicle.
