Electromagnetic radiation exposure from electric vehicles

From printed books to generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), almost every new human invention has gone through four stages of public response.1–3 Firstly, a new invention comes with a hope and trusted beginning, with proponents often praising the invention as a revolutionary and ground-breaking event.1–3 Secondly, an atmosphere of fear and panic sets in when alarmists spread irrational fears, mostly out of fear of change and ulterior motives, and sometimes genuine concerns.1–3 Thirdly, the chaos that followed the fears and concerns would lead to regulations often based on international governing bodies with robust backing from the scientific community and the latest scientific research results.1–3 Finally, once people start to embrace the new technology and incorporate it into their day-to-day lives, things normalize and everyone gets on with their lives, often adapting over a period of time to the new reality.1–3 This cycle of trusted beginning, raising panic, deflating fear, and moving on, is famously called the “Sisyphean cycle” and more colloquially, the “Tech/Panic cycle”.1–3 According to Greek mythology, Sisyphus was punished for trying to cheat death, with a task of pushing a boulder uphill, only to see that rock rolling down again and again.4 Hence, the term Sisyphean is now used to represent mundane tasks that often repeat itself with futile effects, such as panic towards new technological innovations.1–3
