Thank you for posting this. I've been mentioning this as a major problem since the advent years ago of the first electric cars here in the “People's Republic of California”.

Everyone is at risk with all the silence. People and especially more kids are likely to pop into the road and get hurt.

Maybe they need to go back to the old noisy “playing cards in the spokes of bikes” method or whatever. What ever then can do will be better than silence IMO.

Noise, exhaust vapor, and vibration - things your senses would normally detect with combustive energy.

It’s an issue in areas with pedestrian activity such parking lots, driveways, neighborhood streets. I was smacked in a parking lot.
