People get motion sickness because they expect the noise. EVs are also more dangerous to pedestrians particularly the blind.
Wow, some bullshit about EVs I haven't heard before. Full marks for creativity.
Such “bullshit” that Ford commissioned a study into it:
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.
I think pickups are more dangerous than almost all other vehicles for pedestrians and those definitely aren't quiet.
