Whoever are the graphic / video designers for Vox, deserve immense recognition. I’ve seen nearly every Vox video made the past 4 years and all of them are incredibly captivating without fail. Bravo team

I just realised how silent EVs are a few months ago when i was walking in the middle of the street and turned around to see an EV behind me 😅

They need to make a specific noise when they are first started in order to warn cats and other animals that are sheltering under the car. They can be a very high pitched beep that is more audible to various pets, but they need to be a specific sound so that animals can learn it.
@skylakevan5308
In fact, as taxis in large Chinese cities have almost all been replaced by EVs, the noise on the streets has significantly decreased. No matter how quickly taxi drivers accelerate, the electric motors do not produce the piercing noise that gasoline engines make at 3k or 4k RPMs, making the ride much more comfortable for passengers inside the cars.

New law: in case of AVAS failure EV driver needs to sing on top of their lungs with windows down while driving
@David_Lloyd-Jones
The important thing is that it have a horn which says "Beep-beep." Every third time, of course, it says "Beep-beep-beep."
@johndeere3486
We shouldn’t be making cars louder, we should be making streets safer for people. Cars need to avoid people, not the reverse.
@andpeggy9554
One thing that is important to mention is the impact on blind people/people with reduced vision. If they are by themselves, then sound is one of their key senses in being able to navigate safely, especially when trying to cross the road. Having completely silent cars will reduce their ability to be more independent.
@mattkenney3359
This seems a little silly. We already live in a world that is too loud (usually because of cars). I feel like one of the nice things about electric vehicles is the fact they are so quiet especially at slow speeds. We should just focus on making our city streets safer by slowing cars down to the point that as a pedestrian I don’t have to be frantically keeping my head on a swivel for cars making silly electronic noises as they barrel through stop signs and crosswalks

@anwarfellahi3673
A city with no vehicles noise sounds like a utopia to me 🤩
@WDSimp
I kind of want a little electric city car that sounds like The Jetsons car. That seems like it would be fun.
@unvergebeneid
I don't understand why AVAS doesn't dictate that the sound has to be directional. You have to warn people vaguely in front of the vehicle. Not above, behind or next to the vehicle. Let them have peace.
@heidicook2395
As a blind person, who has almost been hit stepping in front of an early hybrid/ev, i am extremely glad they have this requirement.
@stuartrockin
I need an EV sound pack with Mr. Crabs' walking noise. You know what I'm talking about.
@bobdog90
Gimme that Jetsons' car tone.
@Lavender_Louis
But wouldn't we just get used to it after a few decades if we don't make them noisy artificially? I feel like it would be less disruptive in the long run.
