![]() The white noise sounds that Brigade patented may be a better choice. I certainly hope we never let people customize the noise, or every car going by will be blasting the driver’s favorite tune and the roads will become a cacophony instead of more peaceful place. Current cars make a “choral” sound which is a bit distracting - it is meant to be noticed of course - but in many ways the sound of slightly noisy tires or a smooth engine might be a better choice, as they are well understood and recognized. One question is “how present?” Is the sound needed if somebody is on the sidewalk who somehow might not notice the EV coming up behind them? Most EVs still make more than enough tire noise, and they can easily be equipped with a microphone to know how much noise they are making and how much ambient noise is present. We know that’s going to only be used for good purposes.) (Tesla just issued a new feature to cars with this speaker, the ability to use it for a Public Address to yell at pedestrians or other drivers. He constantly repeats himself, makes random comments, and shouts 'Yay' (his catchphrase) until the other caller gets frustrated. He is voice by Jim Florentine Personality Ed is cognitively impaired, immature, and childish. They could only make the sound when a pedestrian is present. Special Ed is an intellectually immature and disabled 16-year-old who is Bobby Fletcher 's younger cousin. The irony of course is that the Tesla is particularly good at knowing if there is anybody behind it when it’s backing up, or close to it when going forward. We already see this in some cars, like recent Teslas TSLA. More controversial have been the efforts to force quiet electric cars to make sounds, both when backing up or cruising slowly. If an electric car drives through a forest, and no pedestrian is around, does it need to make a sound? People hate this beep so much that a ballot proposition to ban it would pass in a heartbeat, I expect.
