There's been a bit of chat here in the past about the importance of
engine noise in F1. I found this article interesting about problems
arising from the absence of engine noise in electric vehicles. I've
been aware of this for some time as I drive a hybrid and I find I have
to be extra alert in places like supermarket car parks as pedestrians
may not be aware my car is moving when it is running on battery.

Last night I got talking to a couple in their new 'MACH E', Ford's
electric Mustang. It has an 'engine sound button' you can press.
This gives a V-8 engine sound inside the cabin, but it is available
outside only in reverse gear.
There is something inherently wrong about electronic engine noise
INSIDE THE CABIN!

I would like it to be standardised sooner rather than later becauseDon't get me started about in-vehicle touchscreens replacing physical controls.
if we let manufacturers come up with their own solutions there will
be a mish mash of stylised implementations and we will end up with
the same situation we have with indicators that on many cars (in the
UK at least) are not as easily and quickly discerned as they used to
be; a safety feature turned in to a stylised selling point with
safety being the loser.
