During 2013–2017, casualty rates per 100 million miles were 5.16 (95% CI 4.92 to 5.42) for E- HE vehicles and 2.40 (95%CI 2.38 to 2.41) for ICE vehicles, indicating that collisions were twice as likely (RR 2.15; 95% CI 2.05 to 2.26) with E-HE vehicles. Poisson regression found no evidence that E-HE vehicles were more dangerous in rural environments (RR 0.91; 95% CI 0.74 to 1.11); but strong evidence that E-HE vehicles were three times more dangerous than ICE vehicles in urban environments (RR 2.97; 95% CI 2.41 to 3.7). Sensitivity analyses of missing data support main findings.
The most fun way to solve this problem is to give EVs huge subwoofers and make them play funky ass beats in pedestrian areas.
Pedestrians are faced with a choice: Funky-ass beats or funky ass-beats!

Already the case in europe. There are fake motor noise loud speakers to make evs noticable.
This is also true in the US since being phased in from 2019-2020. All new models since that time have low speed warning sound requirements.
