Do Teslas have AVAS?

You can bet Elon will try to turn this into some sort of fun gimmick. You can select any of the ten tracks on Rage Against the Machines debut album.

i want a horseshoes on cobbled street sound

This is Tesla. Any modern Tesla is going to know exactly where any pedestrians around it are from the camera neural networks.

I want Jaws music, with the beat timing proportional to how close the nearest person is to being eaten.

You've got two empty halves of coconut and you're bangin' 'em together.

Has anyone listened to an ICE mercedes or BMW at sub 5mph recently..No... Because you can't hear them either.

Yes, this is the farce of the whole thing. If they are serious about cars making "noise" at very low speeds then it needs to apply to ALL modern cars, not just EVs.

Aside from the bangin' music coming from them...

It begs to question why car manufacturers need to be responsible. 9/10 times (don't have any statistics to back me up) it is probably the pedestrians fault. Stepping into the road without properly looking is probably because everyone has their eyes glued to a mobile device. The only situation I see where noise would be useful would be car parks.

I'd love to see the numbers for road accidents for deaf and blind people vs people without sensory disabilities.

Does the emergency breaking system not make it extremely impossible to mow anybody down on a pedestrian crossing therefore rendering this whole noise requirement for Teslas pretty much pointless?

Why not use the sensing radar that is built into new vehicles to identify a person or persons that it deems too close or a danger by virtue of them either standing, walking or moving by other means in or into the path of the moving vehicle (both forwards and in reverse) and, if recognised as a potential danger,use the data to get the onboard electronics to produce an ever increasing warning sound the closer the vehicle gets to the to the person(s) who are judged to be in danger (by the car). Does the sound need to be “on” up to 12mph if there is nobody around!
