Its unfortunate , but the truth is that electric cars are actually causing a huge problem for the visually impaired community. Visually impaired people have used the sounds of traffic to know when it is safe to cross streets for years - contrary to public perception , guide dogs do not read traffic lights , the simply walk when their handler tells them its safe to go , based on what the handler hears around them yes I think that ringtones for cars is a nightmare , but silent cars a real danger to some folks
