Toyota is working on a fake manual too. As a manual enthusiast… I think it’s just dumb.

That’s slightly less offensive IMO, than the fact that if you turned the speaker off on a modern Mustang or Corvette, they’d be as quiet as a Prius. This means they could have put the speaker on the EV versions they just released, but they didn’t. There’s something wrong about a silent Mustang or Corvette.

As a resident in a nice, hilly area: Not really. Traffic can’t become silent quickly enough.

Isn’t that a law in EU for pedes safety?

It’s not the same noise. Law is just a zoom or whatever at low speeds. The speaker is artificial engine noise and stuff
