It'll only be a matter of time before someone hacks into the sound-generation files and replaces the "futuristic" sounds with "porntastic" sounds... anyone saying they didn't see that coming is a liar or a fool.

Au contraire, mon frere. Protecting pedestrians is the nom du jour for those armies of regulators who need to continually justify their government salaries by coming up with new ways that automobiles are Evil. This noise-making nonsense fits right into the flow.

I rather have the big rig engine braking sound, but its not nearly loud enough, we need it amplified so deaf people can hear the car and blind people can see it.

Motor 26kw
Sound protection system 1mw.
EV range 1 mile
