Electric cars have to make noise on purpose because otherwise it would be a silent car. And most of these noises are are weird futuristic WEEEE-00000 UFO sounds. Therefore I posit that we should be able to change the noises our electric cars make

EDIT: These suggestions are Top-Notch! Keep em coming!

    If I hit somebody that steps into the street then it’s my fault no matter what.

    This is not at all true. If someone steps out in front of you with little or no time for you to react, they’re just as much at fault. It will be much easier to argue that you’re to blame, when you’ve intentionally disabled the saftey device that would have alerted them to your presence though.

    Even if it was true however: Just because it would be your fault doesn’t mean you should increase the chances of it happening.

    Besides, most people wear earbuds when walking around town.

    This is entirely your own false perception. Many if not most people don’t wear headphones near traffic, or at least only wear one, so that they can still hear their suroundings.

    Regardless; Some people choosing to blockout sounds is no excuse for you putting everyone else in danger.

    You should fix this, or you should be cited for willful public endangerment and the vehicle towed+impounded.
