More and more electric vehicles are now equipped with low-speed warning sound systems, which are mainly designed to remind pedestrians to detect the movement of electric vehicles in a timely manner and make evasive maneuvers. This is also because the sound of electric vehicles is too low, and pedestrians cannot detect it without paying attention. But many car owners think that installing a low-speed warning sound system for electric vehicles is unnecessary. Is it really unnecessary?

In the era of fuel vehicles, the ability to silence is one of the important factors affecting vehicle comfort, and engineers are eager to make the engine noise as low as possible. However, electric vehicles do not have to worry about the problem of loud motor noise at all. On the contrary, their problem is that the noise is too low, even to the point where it is difficult for pedestrians to feel at low speeds. At this point, there is a possibility of danger occurring.
For example, in residential areas where people and vehicles do not separate, campuses where people and vehicles are mixed, or on narrow roads, low-speed electric vehicles approaching pedestrians in front may not be perceived by pedestrians due to the low noise, and vehicles cannot easily honk in the community, which is quite awkward.
Safety is the first rule. Without a doubt, installing a low-speed warning sound system for electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles can ensure the safety of every citizen on the streets and highways, whether they are riding motorcycles, bicycles, or pedestrians, especially the blind and visually impaired.
However, from the perspective of the interests of electric vehicle owners themselves, the low-speed warning sound system of electric vehicles increases external noise at low speeds, which will offset the natural advantage of electric vehicles being quiet. Therefore, it is recommended that manufacturers provide corresponding noise reduction measures inside the car to maintain a quiet interior and a moderate low-speed warning sound system for electric vehicles outside the car.
In addition, considering the significant differences in road environments in China, it is recommended that the low-speed warning sound system of Yutai electric vehicles from various manufacturers can be enabled by default like the automatic start stop function, but can also be manually turned off. In this way, in the community environment where people and vehicles are separated, car owners can manually turn off the low-speed warning sound system of electric vehicles.
Of course, in addition to technological means, as electric vehicles gradually become frequent on the road, both pedestrians and car owners must abide by traffic rules more strictly. Car owners should yield to pedestrians, and pedestrians should actively avoid cars.
