That's what I more or less what yell at drivers who decide to make their turn while I'm in the middle of crossing the street. They seem to have a habit of looking at the traffic when turning and not where they're going .Just shout "Look before crossing the ****ing road, you selfish *****rds for expecting everything done for you including thinking!!!"

I have my wire cutters on hand. Between now and then maybe I can design a cool remote switch.NHTSA sets 'Quiet Car' safety standard to protect pedestrians
"Manufacturers have until Sept. 1, 2019, to equip all new hybrid and electric vehicles with sounds that meet the new federal safety standard. Half of new hybrid and electric vehicles must be in compliance one year before the final deadline."
So that means half of their fleet has to have the sound by next year September. I would guess that they will just go ahead and add it to the entire fleet before then, but maybe they'll just go ahead and have it on all Model 3s from the beginning and let S/X owners have silent cars until they have to add it in 2019.
That'd be against the way the law is written thoughI want something very simple and quiet like the ding – ding of a thumb actuated bell, like on bicycle handlebars. Just an occasional ding - ding automatically, or in those few times that you need it, actuate it from the touchscreen.
They must have changed the sound when they took away that switch (my 2014 can't turn it off). It's much smoother than the warble in the video (which was from 2010), it's just a quiet electric whine now.I despise the sound in the leaf, and it's part of my routine when driving it to toggle it off as soon as I power it up.
The Leaf makes a sound, but to my ear it just sounds like an electric motor, I guess it's louder than the actual electric motor? At any rate, I've never observed a pedestrian react to my Leaf as if they heard the noise it's making, they either hear the road crunch (poorly paved access road to my neighborhood), or they are surprised when they happen to turn and see it sneaking up on them.
so it estimates that adding noise makers to silent electric vehicles, would require x additional gallons of fuel to carry the added weight of the equipment?I found the following about the weight. "...we would expect that due to the additional weight that these components add to the vehicles in which they are installed, if manufacturers make no other changes to reduce vehicle weight, these vehicles would consume an additional 2.3 more gallons of fuel over the lifetime of a passenger car and 2.5 more gallons of fuel over the lifetime of a light truck which would result in an average fuel cost of $4.75 per vehicle for over the lifetime of MY 2020 vehicles..."
Sirens and flashing lights are next in addition to waving your hands... nevermind that the car would automatically try to stop if it detected a pedestrian in front of it at low speed.A large proportion of accidents with pedestrians are caused by pedestrians listening to music with ear phones on.
And what about people who have imperfect hearing?
Naw it'll be a hard coded to play nothing but cowbellI am hoping for an mp3 based version so I can customize the sound to whatever I want. I plan on using the coconuts from the holy grail movie.
I think it would be better to have it play "Ni!" "Ni!"...that will get pedestrian's attentionI am hoping for an mp3 based version so I can customize the sound to whatever I want. I plan on using the coconuts from the holy grail movie.
