According to an agency's study, hybrid and electric cars have a 37% greater risk of being involved in pedestrian traffic accidents. As for the cyclists, this percentage jumps to 57. Why? They are too quiet.
The dreams of generations of environmentalists have begun to come true in recent years with the introduction of electric cars and hybrids. According to a survey, by 2040, 35% of new cars will be electric, just last year, the growth of electric car sales jumped to an impressive 41%. However, according to a study by the US National Road Safety Administration, electric cars pose a danger to pedestrians and motorcyclists. The problem - silent engines. There are already attempts to introduce specific measures in this respect in some countries, such as cars to make a sound at a certain speed. - Source

I didn't realize this! Thanks so much for posting the information!
Wow, so law of averages do work. Nothing is perfect. Haha!
Should be a simple problem to fix. Just add noise. Easier than reducing the pollution from other cars
Maybe each car can play music.
They could be like icecream vans!
