One of the major concerns about electric cars is that they are too quiet, often catching pedestrians and cyclists by surprise. Nissan will address this issue with their upcoming Leaf electric car by having it emit a sound inspired by the flying cars in Blade Runner. Id rather my car sound like a TIE Fighter, thank you very much.
We decided that if were going to do this, if we have to make sound, then were going to make it beautiful and futuristic, Tabata said. We wanted something a bit different, something closer to the world of art.
