And noise! I will rejoice when idiots are no longer allowed to speed and operate clearly illegal (in terms of emissions and noise) vehicles on public roads.


that and rolling coal - I see at least one per month in texas.


Don't worry, the gov't is here to make sure you don't miss out. Newer EVs and hybrids are required to make noise at <20mph. Never mind that a properly muffled ICEV is only audible when completely stopped. My neighborhood is getting louder as we all switch to EVs.


I was worried about that back in 2018 when it was announced but having heard hundreds of backup sounds (luckily mine is silent as it's from before 2019), they are all chill and mostly imperceptible.
