I drive an electric car which already does this. Is a very futuristic and smooth sounding noise, and it sounds nice. Not like an ICE engine. People immediately notice you and recognize that you are in some new type of car. It feels positive, not negative at all as some comments here suggest.
Also, there is a button to disable that noise if you want to (at least in the Ioniq)
The Honda Clarity has no button to turn it off. My kids hate the attention it gets when I pull up to pick them up at school. It sounds like a spaceship full of slightly out of tune angels.
Wow, that really is absolutely horrifying [1]. The people advocating for this must have no idea the hell they will be putting us all through. Or they work for the oil companies.
Advanced pedestrian avoidance systems would prevent more injuries than this joke. This regulation shows such a complete lack of vision or respect. So glad I got my EV before this became mandatory.
