26、ange. But electric cars are also known for not producing another kind of pollution noise. They run on batteries instead of fuels, and can operate in silence.While many people might consider this a good thing, quiet cars can also cause problems. The main danger is that people around electric vehicles
27、 face a greater risk of being hit if they cannot hear the cars coming.Governments in the United States and Europe have recognized this problem. So they have set requirements for automakers to add warning sounds to electric vehicles. The U.S. Department of Transportation finalized its rules a year ag
28、o. The rules require electric and hybrid(混合物) cars to be equipped with some warning sounds when moving at a speed of up to 30 kilometers per hour.

29、rom the next generation of electric cars? One of the easiest solutions would be for car makers to reproduce the sound of a traditional car running on fuels.

30、d of technical development at Volkswagen, said that finding the perfect sound mix is not an easy process. He said, “It cannot be too annoying. It cannot sound like anything we had in the past.” An official from Mercedes-Benz said the sound was designed to provide a safe warning without annoying pass
31、engers inside the car.
