Unreal… I doubt this will ever make it to market. Seems like patent CYA.
Meanwhile, granted I live in a pretty politically “blue” part of the USA where electric vehicle acceptance is probably near peak in comparison to the American average, but there are a LOT of people whizzing around the streets on electric bikes motorcycles these days … pretty sure the “I’ll only buy electric if it sounds like internal combustion” market segment simply doesn’t exist, or if it does, is microscopic at best.
Such “bullshit” that Ford commissioned a study into it:
Average illness ratings were significantly lower for the condition that contained informative auditory cues, as compared to the condition without informative cues. This knowledge, i.e. that auditory signals can improve anticipation of motion, could be of importance in reducing carsickness in domains such as that of autonomous vehicles,

EVs are also more dangerous to pedestrians particularly the blind.
I think pickups are more dangerous than almost all other vehicles for pedestrians and those definitely aren’t quiet.
Wow, some bullshit about EVs I haven’t heard before. Full marks for creativity.

I don’t understand the motion sick part.
They experience dissonance when they feel motion without the associated sound.
Man, look at me on this bicycle being all dissonant. Or a train. Or one wheel. Or any other number of things that don’t go vroom vroom.
