Might encourage a lot of 20 in a 15 zone.At least the noise requirement is limited to speeds under 18 MPH (30 km/H). And while I can't figure out exactly how loud it has to be, I don't think it's intended to alert someone with headphones on. Instead, it is obviously geared, primarily towards people who are blind.
Interestingly, Tesla didn't file any comments. Moreover, the explanatory texts seems to suggest that Tesla would have installed such a system without the rule, which I doubt. Finally, it seems like none of the tested vehicle were BEVs. Perhaps the rule could be challenged on appeal given that glaring omission.
Can they make the sound play "I am just here so I won't get fined" in Marshawn Lynch voice?
But on a serious note, what about giving options for people to chose their noise and can the noise be directional?

Please, if anyone at tesla engineering reads this, put the speaker and wire with plug in connector accessible in frunk so I can, say, upgrade speaker...

Problem is, it's NOT. So many pedestrians have earphones or are looking at phones, this protects nobody.... Just adds noise pollution so they'll turn the headphones up.
I think TM approach with the ultrasonic collision avoidance system is the best solution. That should be required on all cars instead.
My RAV4 EV emits a low speed sound. I do dislike it, but it is not audible from inside the vehicle. From outside it sounds like a squeaky brake. But it's useless. No one is ever alerted by it.
