This was originally allowed in the USA, but NHTSA banned it: https://www.teslarati.com/nhtsa-wont-allow-evs-to-have-unlimited-or-custom-pedestrian-alert-sounds/. Otter countries might still allow it.
Otter countries are famously permissive.
I’m not even going to fix that typo. We need more otter countries.
It’s the very definition of a happy accident.
I can see it making sense. If you’re blind and you hear the sound of a waterfall approaching you, you’re not going to immediately think “that’s a car.”
