It's been a rough day at the office, and the commuting traffic is especially awful... But at least the cabin of the vehicle offers a nice respite from the world. We can relax to our music, and put the world behind us for a few minutes on the road.
But are we putting the world too far away? In our quest for a quiet, comfortable vehicle cockpit the auto engineers may have, in fact, made the cars too quiet! That's what our first responders are claiming, at least.
All that acoustic and wind tunnel testing has had unintended consequences with cars now being so quiet, drivers struggle to hear ambulances and firetrucks.
