PLUG IN ! EXPLORING THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE SPACE
HARMAN Halosonic exterior sound system provides combustion engine sounds
lovers off an EV is the lack of noise .
The noise of a car not only known to contribute to the enjoyment of it , but also to safety . New standards are being rolled out that will require usually quiet electric cars to produce noise at low speeds . To this end , HARMAN has developed the Halosonic exterior sound system .
Its system has four sounds on offer ; the first two were combustion engine sounds and while a good showcase of the technology , they were not particularly relevant to the Model S . The final two were futuristic sounds that were perfectly in-keeping with the look of modern EVs .
As we move closer to a world without new combustion engine vehicles , opportunities will continue to present themselves to technology companies and startups looking to contribute to this varied and rapidly expanding market .
