And how effective is the sound when most pedestrians are more fixated on their phones than where they are walking?
Agreed. There is no problem in putting this in the law. But giving the driver an option to disable it temporarily would be nice.
I like the sound and I think it’s an important safety feature. The way humans integrate input from our 5 primary senses to stay alive is truly amazing. In this day and age, having something dangerous like a moving vehicle affect both our sight and hearing is a good idea. Especially in the Costco parking lot! Kudos to Honda for making it a pleasant sound.
