For those who even consider an idea that Noise Maker makes presence in traffic somewhat different, think again.
Most other EV-s and PHEV do NOT have that and no reports (anywhere in the world) about people not hearing.
At speeds VSP sound is heard there is almost no accidents at all (with pedestrians). The only exception is reverse.
From my perspective traffic is very noisy. The only people who rely on sound are deaf people. And VSP doesn't help
them as they do not practice jaywalking. And they hear vehicles.
And again, I should repeat: no accidents with other EV-s PHEV-s. VSP is just unnecessary precaution. It was reasonable
to try it out on 2011/2012 models but going on with that is just foolish.
