Audi has filed a patent for an innovative system designed to enhance the driving experience of future electric vehicles by simulating traditional combustion engine sensations. The technology would introduce artificial turbo lag, engine-like vibrations, and even synthetic scents to mimic the atmosphere of a conventional car. This move suggests automakers are exploring ways to ease the transition for drivers accustomed to internal combustion engines. The patent hints at a blend of sensory and mechanical tricks aimed at making EVs feel more familiar.
