wow! i had no idea this was going to be a legal requirement on electric cars.
not sure how this can be enforced as a global requirement...
does this mean that it'll apply to electric scooters / motorbikes / skateboards as well? - i'd imagine not, but perhaps it should apply to all road going vehicles that need to be registered to use the roads? i'll do a bit of digging on the legislation.
i guess the issue is that if all electric vehicle manufacturers are left to implement their own warning sounds, then people aren't going to be universally aware of all of the differing sounds (much like the problem with the bells) - maybe they've all got to be based on similar frequencies or something?
interesting!
