After the dodge charger electric fake V8 engine noise, Ferrari is following

I guess that people who buy these cars have a need for emotive support and very poor self esteem, and need to bother everyone else when there is absolutely no need for it.

Fuck cars

    For safety reasons, they ought to make some noise.

    I propose the standard should be a little bidi-bidi-bidi-bidi sound like on The Jetsons.

      Absolutely not. Cars make noise because physics says they have to. If somehow cars can be 100% silent in all ways, there is no reason at all that should be making noise (other then the horn to alert people in case they need to alert people).

      Noise pollution is absolutely part of the problem with cars, so the last thing we need if we want in a society that continues to allow cars, is archaic rules where cars have to create more pollution.

        Ambient noise is alerting people to their presence, to help them not get run over. You don’t have to hear it screaming BIDI BIDI BIDI BIDI down the block when some asshole revs the… nothing.

          alerting people to their presence

          Is many legal systems the driver is responsible for not running people over.

            Does finding the guilty party solve the issue?
