this is also why hermetically sealed, quiet car interiors is a bad thing, double bad with the silent electric motor

personally when i hear the characteristic whirring hum of electric motors i get nervous

i think that it is very likely that soon there will be some kind of public outrage about EVs being so much more prone to causing road accidents that they may have to actually do something, what, i dunno... external airbags? speed limits? noisemakers?
