Nissan's EVs will swap engine noises for 'song'
The US Department of Transport (DoT) recently decreed that all hybrid and electric vehicles must make a noise to protect pedestrians, especially folks who are blind or have limited vision. Rather than just saying, "okay, we're adding a noise to our EVs, you guys," Nissan made a big production about releasing its "song," even giving it a name. "'Canto' has been developed to help with pedestrian safety, as well as to provide ... a sound that is energizing and confident," the company said in a press release.
