Tesla is recalling some 579,000 vehicles in the United States after an American safety organisation ruled that the cars’ “Boombox” function — which allows drivers to play sounds over an external speaker — may endanger pedestrians.
The Boombox system gives drivers the ability to broadcast pre-recorded noises such as fart sounds, the bleating of a goat and others via an external speaker.

I did wonder how long it would be before someone played something like a Pelican Crossing type sound from the car to entice a visually impaired person to cross when it wasn’t safe - for a laugh!
Alternatively I wonder if you could change the sound on the fly so you could record ambient sounds and build an opposite wave and have a dangerous noise cancelling car?
