What the.. Ganun ba logic nun? Maingay para marinig ng pedestrians? I don't think so.

Electric cars are now required to make noise at low speeds so they don’t sneak up and kill us | The Verge

This is to prevent these vehicles from injuring pedestrians, especially people who are blind or are visually impaired.

Sa totoo lang... Pinoy lang at Indians ang driver na mahilig bumusina

^eto pa isa...

Are hybrid vehicles too quiet? | Boston.com

NHTSA says the ruling is “to help pedestrians who are blind or have low vision detect the presence, direction, and location of these vehicles,” perhaps because the American Council for the Blind lobbied for the regulation.

However, this should be a big assist to all pedestrians who use our roads.

May point din naman si ice about sa electric. Kasi sa mga scootings yan kinakatakutan ko mga electric pag sumulpot, pati na din mga nagbibisikleta napapa my gawd ako pag nagovertake mga yan nagfefeeling tour de france. Eh ako nagbibike din pero ingat pang pedestrian lang speed ko mabilis lang sa nagjojogging. Meron din busina bell yung bike ko kaya pag palapit na ako sa kanto eh nagpapatunog ako.

Pero mas pangit talaga maingay sasakyan lalo na diesel. Isipin nyo lang paano kung nakatira kayo sa nauusong makulob na townhouse yung tapatan ang style. Puro vibration yun inside the compound. Tapos puro SUA montero pa nakatira. hahahahahah

Yung mga gasoline engine simula na electronic fuel injeted eh tahimik yan pag idle. Pag umaarangkada naman meron low engine ungol yan na hindi masakit sa tenga na rinig kahit papano ng pedestrian.

So kung kung icocompare gaso, diesel and electric eh gaso ang balance. Pero syempre gusto ko magka electric. heheheheh.

Yes there is a minimum sound requirement for electric cars because they are too quiet to be heard by pedestrians, cyclists, the blind and others. Now for cars with combustion engines i am not so sure
