Is there any firm evidence, and I’m not talking about anecdotes or non-scientific surveys conducted by interest groups, to support that EVs really pose a menace to the visually impaired? This is not a rhetorical question. I’m genuinely curious. In a short amount of research I haven’t found anything that looks really solid.
And where is the push to require noise emitters on bicycles, which are far quieter than even the stealthiest EV and just as potentially dangerous at high speed
Respectfully, and I do mean that sincerely, advocacy groups can’t really exist without always having something to be concerned or advocating about. It is their raison d’etre.
The truth is, a 5,000lb vehicle driving down the street or even moving through a parking lot makes noise. Oh, but what if it drowned out by other ambient noise? Good question! Is the solution then be arming an increasing number of vehicles with speakers to contribute more to that noise?
