It's an absurd question, and if you think it has merit then I can only assume this conversation is going to become increasingly deranged.
"Could you not "/
Sure, whatever buddy. Lets all make things more difficult instead of just agreeing on sensible safety precautions.
You won the pigeon chess match. Congrats.
Big difference between "a roaring muscle car" and Nyan Cat. One of those things is immediately recognisable as an approaching vehicle.
I'm not deaf.
We're digressing from the original disagreement
no, my argument is that it doesn’t matter what sound it makes as long as it makes a sound.
I believe it is important for vehicles to sound like vehicles, so they can be easily identified. They shouldn't be randomly changed by their owner to something whimsical.
You don't have right of way in a vehicle when the light is green - pedestrians still have right of way.
There was no "splash splashy of wheels on the pavement" because the car was in the road, not the pavement.
There were plenty of "splashy splashy" noises around, because there were lots of vehicles. The "bouncy bounce" of rain on that car was easily confused with the "bouncy bounce" of rain of every other car/surface/building/person in the area.
I'm not sure if you're intentionally being moronic, or if you genuinely feel like you know more about the situation of my accident than I do. The fact remains that electric vehicles shouldn't simply be able to make some random noise. They need to be audible and recognisable to prevent accidents.
Completely impractical. Standardise noises for warnings. I'm not going to react to the sound of Nyan Cat played on the Bagpipes and think "oh that's a car coming".
Also, pedestrians DO have the right of way. How do I know? I got hit by a driver at night in the rain, with his lights off, coasting in neutral. Couldn't hear him, couldn't see him. Court settled in my favour.
In suburbia, sure.
In the town centre, there's so many vehicles around that it's very easy for an electric vehicle to creep up on you.
Is your argument that we should make these vehicles quieter because you personally don't experience this issue?

wasn’t designed for it
This is why I use Linux, the fingerprint device wouldn't be supported so this wouldn't be an issue /s
