I believe this has already happened in other jurisdictions previously. My father in law in Japan once had a Mitsubishi iMiev EV, as a work car. The thing was ghostly quiet. One could not hear this car over the wind rushing past your ears, not to mention in the presence of any other traffic.
As much as I believe phone zombies should succumb to the Darwin awards, the smaller EVs at least are a hazard to everyone.
It would be neat if the vehicle sound could be uploaded, or at least chosen from a preset list.
I can't decide whether I'd subscribe to a TIE fighter roar, or a screaming 2stroke dirtbike hittin' 'band.
That said, with such freedom, I could envisage some poor outcomes by others. Perhaps a constant "Rodney Rude" cackle, or that horrid laugh from "The Nanny" (apologies for these bottom-of-the-barrel examples).
