The post annoying pedestrian warning sustems

[primedive]

In your opinion, which brand of EVs / hybrid have the most annoying pedestrian warning systems?

In my view, it’s gotta be Toyota without a doubt. Those things are insanely loud and annoying. I can hear a Toyota hybrid from more than 200 feet away. Also, for some reason they often have flickering headlights that distract me whenever there’s one around.

The Ioniq 5’s is better but still has somewhat of a tonal drone that I find annoying. I actually appreciate Tesla’s system and it’s the best PWS that I’ve heard on any brand of EVs.

Shouldn’t the legislation base it on delivered power or something else? Most ICE cars are quieter than most of these EVs (except Tesla) at this point.

Wonder if lawmakers are going to institute a manditory minimum noise level for ICE vehicles as well. Some ICE cars are pretty quiet. In the case of rear engined vehicles, pedestrians do not have the auditory warning you get from a typical front engined car.

100% this.
