The individual highlights how the lack of audible engine noise makes it difficult to detect approaching cars, increasing the danger of collisions. The issue underscores broader safety debates as electric vehicles become more common on roads. Advocates for accessibility argue that current regulations may not fully address the needs of blind and partially sighted people.
