Wouldn't this...theoretically, be an issue with police/emergency vehicles?
I'm not sure there's specifically a law that you must be able to hear the vehicles if their sirens are on, and there's obviously a visual aspect to the vehicles that you should be paying attention to, i'm just envisioning an era with all noise-canceling vehicles making the sirens of emergency vehicles moot point aside from a pedestrian point of view (...and then, there's noise canceling headphones already, so....)
And then, as well, honking becomes moot point i guess too?
Again, i get someone can have their music so loud they can't hear any of it anyways, but to actually have a technology inside your vehicle to make certain you don't, just seems....counter-productive, unless all vehicles go driverless and you don't have to pay attention to audio ques on the roadways
Unless the noise cancellation is targeting specific noises, rather then all ambient noises, like the article, kinda, sorta, implies, but doesn't also specifically say it doesn't...

They should give Electric Cars an engine noise instead. They very dangerous, especially for elderly people who can't hear that well anymore.

Can it block out my significant other one week per month?

It's not new for cars. If it works well is another story. Once you cancel a certain noise, something else starts to get annoying.

Just do not move from prescribed location. Otherwise you may end up being hit by waves having sum amplitude 4 times as high.

They've been in the automotive space for quite some time tinkering away with different ideas, my favourite being this old clip [youtube=eSi6J-QK1lw]
Re noise cancelling I would have thought that it would be better applied to exhausts as a form of muffler than trying to counteract NVH in the cabin as any noise cancelling system I've ever tried has always either introduced its own background noise which I find irritating in it's own right

So, I spent 5000 bucks for my car's exhaust to make its sound canceled by a speaker? Anyway, tyres frequency is around 20 Hz, I guess that the cheap speakers makers put in their cars can't do anything for it...

Another reason to never get a newer car if I can not disable this kind of crap.
This tech couldn't handle my exhaust on either of my cars.
The biggest new tech worth a damn on newer cars is programmable electric power steering.

I think this works for power steering, too...

I agree - it should be made law that all cars must be bright pink with flashing lights on them, because old people have difficulty seeing as well as hearing.

Too bad Bose are the Apple of the sound world. Set them selves up as a premium brand even when they're selling junk, produce sometimes okay products which aren't really repairable, seem to always have planned obsolescence, and cost literally 2-12x equal or better products.
