I get everyones' resistance to adding noisemakers to any car (EV or not), but basically, you're not going to fix stupid. People have, do, and always will be oblivious to their surroundings, and guess what?? If someone walks in front of your car because they couldn't hear you coming -- you're in for a world of hurt with legal and civil liabilities, unless you have a dashcam and can prove they did it intentionally. So instead of rallying around the "this is a stupid law, people should be smarter" battle cry, I'd rather have a subtle noisemaker to clear all the stupid people out of the way so they don't (by their own fault) get hit by my car. Because the alternative of standing your high-ground and potentially hitting or killing a stupid person is going to be a lot more of a hassle than putting up with a little noisemaker.
