lol right the part where silent is doing all the work because the engine rumble was already the motion cue before anyone called it sensory mismatch that's not even drivetrain that's oh you thought accelerating meant we checked what happens when regen braking is whatever the motor feels like and the ask was make it smooth first

Because electric vehicles don't have the auditory cues and vibrations from the engine that we're used to, which indicate when the car is accelerating, this could trigger motion sickness, Di Giulio says. Another reason is regenerative braking, the process whereby when drivers release the accelerator, the electric car starts to slow down.

    Silent becomes the problem when we skipped calibrating deceleration to what the body expects. You don't get to ship regen as efficiency and call motion sickness a passenger adjustment issue when the standard was always match the curve to human reflex, so now smooth is just whatever the motor curve costs after we already sold the acceleration part.
