Well, silent electric cars are kind of a menace from a pedestrian safety perspective. They should make some noise on the outside at least.
Make all cars play Despacito, got it.

Programming my car to use GPS to figure out what the most prominent large predator is in the area so it can play appropriate animal-spooking sounds.
All cars are a menace from any perspective but that of the car.
The only time electric cars make too little noise to hear is when they are driving at speeds that aren’t guaranteed to kill you. After about 30mph/50kph, the vast majority of sound comes from the tires unless you drive one of those horrendously loud trucks or motorcycles.
Muscle cars are cool at car shows, but not passing through neighborhoods or areas where people are trying to enjoy talking outdoors.
30 mph is about hte speed limit in school zones where a kid is most likely to get hit by a car to begin with, though. Or where the assumption that cars make noise has lead to inane road layouts where parked vehicles or shubbery obscure oncoming traffic.
