Let's start with silence. Silence is one of the most precious conditions for humans,
because it allows us to feel the depth of our presence. This is one of the reasons why the advent of electric cars
has generated lots of enthusiasm among people. For the first time, we could associate the concept of cars
with the experience of silence. Cars can finally be quiet:
peace in the streets, a silent revolution in the cities.
(Hum) But silence can also be a problem.
The absence of sound, in fact, when it comes to cars, it can be quite dangerous.
Think of blind people, who can't see a car which is approaching.
And now, if it's electric, they can't even hear it. Or think of every one of us as we are walking around the city,
we are absorbed in our thoughts, and we detach from the surroundings. In these situations, sound can become our precious companion.
