Interesting feature for electric cars
Here’s something you probably never thought about. The new hybrid electric cars are not only cutting down on air pollution but also noise pollution. That’s good right? Well, it is, but then there is another problem. Silent electric cars are some what of a problem for the blind. Congress is considering federal regulations for electric cars. I can see their point. Yes, the driver of a vehicle should take responsibility and not hit somebody, but that doesn’t always happen, and a blind pedestrian has no chance if there can’t hear the vehicle. So, Fisker and other automakers as well as toying with different ideas to decide how to have the electric cars alittle noiser. Fisker will emit a sound from speakers that are in the bumpers. BMW was thinking of allowing the customer to choose their own sound for their vehicle. Some are thinking maybe a ringtone that you could manually push on your steering wheel. Whichever way the automaker chooses, it sounds like electric cars will be getting louder. I guess a quiet car cannot completely happen after all.
