Blind people depend on their hearing to navigate through the world. I saw a new story a while back about a group trying to re-train their seeing eye dogs to watch out for quiet electric vehicles.
Likely retraining a dog to equate the sound he hears, to a vehicle.
I guarantee you that an EV, while quiet to a human, is anything but quiet to a dog.
Here's something to ponder as it relates to a dog's senses:
If we walk through the woods, a dog can track us - by scent alone - hours later.
But if a dog is sitting right next to us, our human "stink" must be darn near unbearable :)
