Yep the noise. Was in the basement car park at work and a little Toyota Yaris nipped around a blind corner. The air extractors are constantly operating too so it was a new experience for me.
N.b. I drive a high performance powered German vehicle for some context 
.
That alone is one of the most convincing arguments to get off hydrocarbons.
I feel like that’s a somewhat niche scenario… Ignoring a new mode of transport entirely because if youre a pedestrian not paying attention to your surroundings you might get hit by it.
I’ve been plagued by loud engines my entire life… One of the major things I’m looking forward to with EVs is the reduced traffic noise. Bliss.
This is where hyrdogen fuel cells really excel right? Basically the process & infrastructure is the similar to existing capabilities for ICE. Hydrogen can be produced elsewhere (with renewable energy) and shipped to distribution points (service stations) and the end customer experience is almost identical to how it works now for ICE vehicles.
The added benefit (as I understand) is that it’s also possible to have small capacity hydrogen generation in-situ.
Blue in Auckland and yellow in Christchurch actually makes complete sense.
Tis not.
I miss modern ICE cars in carparks now. They’re not exactly 355 strokers with a high lift cam and twin 2.5" exhausts.
And really, people just drive too fucking fast in carparks anyways.
Also, technology is making great leaps to prevent pedestrian accidents, such as Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) for pedestrians and cyclists, and EVs generally feature safety features like these.
You know what would really solve the pedestrian car interaction problem?
Decent public transport!
Banning all cars.
Electric?
Nah it’s all me. Not yet ready to go over to the other side.
My god new cars are enormous monstrosities.
Edit: by monstrosities I’m talking in terms of size. It’s.not an ugly vehicle
Then there’s this…
Wow that site is full of obnoxious elitist cunts.
True. I was just interested in an article on the car being a Ferrari fan.
I do find it funny that the Ferrari looks like a Mazda CX-30
CX-30 is nicer, in a comparison of dumpster fire design.
The new kombi is closer to the camera.
