EVs are still annoying. When I have to cross a road for cars, I have to wait for the traffic light. Also, I have to be attentive in the first place. That's something I don't have to do to the same same extent in a pedestrian area.

Also, EVs are still noisy because a significant part of the noise of a driving car is produced by the tires, unless driving very slowly.

EDIT: Also, judging from the tone of your last statement, I'm going to guess that you've never been in Europe.

Perhaps you live in a different Europe then, I've lived in Vienna for the past 27 years.

I've been to Vienna once (3 years ago), and their public transit system was just as competent and reliable as most others that I've seen in central Europe. The car density was already much lower than what I've observed in the US.
