For some time now, traffic regulators have been concerned because electric vehicles are very quiet. This, which in principle would be positive for reducing noise pollution in cities, can be a risk. Accidents could be increased by not hearing one of these vehicles approach. That is why you want electric vehicles to make noise and Tesla has taken the glove of this.
The company directed and founded by Elon Musk would be working on a mechanism that makes its cars talk. It is not that it talks to the driver or the passenger, actually the Tesla would talk to the pedestrians. Although this seems crazy, it is what a video uploaded by Musk himself shows.

As always, Musk has published a video on his Twitter account in which two people are seen driving a Tesla. Externally we do not see anything strange, it's a Model 3 anyone with whom we could cross, without more. The thing is that when the car passes near some pedestrians it blurts out: "Well, don't just stand there jumping!"
Elon Musk has even laughed at the addition of external speakers that allow him to speak. It would be a modern version of KITT, David Hasselhoff's car in 'The Fantastic Car'
No data has been given by Elon Musk on what type of messages they are working on or what models will implement this feature. Although he has laughed at the possibility that one of his vehicles can say words like 'fart' to pedestrians.
Far from all the jokes, this function has some utility to improve road safety and warn pedestrians. More and more people are clueless looking at their smartphone as if nothing was happening around them. In Spain, there is an upturn in abuses for crossing the road without paying the slightest attention. Perhaps this function, which seems ridiculous, can be used to avoid traffic accidents.
