The fact that Night City is solar powered is really interesting. If you play the game, the solar panels are visible from afar from many vantage points across the city. And if you visit it, it takes forever to traverse. It’s pre-sense is huge.
What’s so interesting to me is that in spite of the city’s green infrastructure, the inequities persist.
We’re already at the point IRL where electric cars are made to sound like ICE cars, for purely aesthetic (i.e. assholery) reasons. And that kind of fits Night City to a T.
In Denmark they make an ICE-like noise as to warn pedestrians, before that there were accidents when people didn’t hear them and crossed the street in front of them.
There’s a big difference between emitting some noise at low speeds to warn pedestrians, and going full “screaming-loud sports car”. I’m talking about the latter.
Right. Never noticed that in Denmark, luckily 😊
