As the article notes, this problem has mostly been solved by requiring AVAS in EVs sold from 2021 and onwards

Simple fix to this without continuing to use shitty ICE vehicles. Make em make some noise.

Obviously the solution is walkable cities, reduced dependency on cars and car culture, mass transit, trains, busses, et cetera. But in the interim, make em make noise. Whatever the car equivalent to a baseball card in the spokes is

I thought EV already made a low humming sound when the car is moving(the sound of the motor), and then some of the manufacturer artificially turn it into a TIE fighter by adding louder noise when its moving. And recent ICE car are already very quiet to the point that the noise you hear is mostly the tyre sound on high speed, when they simply cruising at 20-30kmph it's very quiet. I don't know what more could people possibly want.

As a person with normal eyesight, quiet cars are great. Loud cars make me angry. But quiet cars are lethal to blind people, so fuck all cars.

Quiet electric cars are firearms with silencers attached so let's build out sidewalks, bike lanes, and public transit.

well yes, for deaf people, noisy cars are bad for everyone and all cars kill people all the time.

I've found that, at least in europe, teslas are a major issue for this reason.

All other electric vehicles, even the cheap chinese ones, make some sort of noise, like ufos hovering or something. Yet teslas are mostly just silent, they don't make the noise.

I'm not even deaf and I've gotten close to getting run over by various teslas, but no other brand of cars (electric or ICE) had this issue.

It's also dangerous for people who can see. The more senses you can bring to bear on danger, the better.
