The picture says it all:
There was some bipartisan agreement — hybrid cars will now be made noisy:
The bill calls for hybrid and electric cars to be equipped with “alert sounds” that would “allow the pedestrian to reasonably detect a nearby electric or hybrid vehicle.” Some safety advocates have warned that the near-silence of electric and hybrid vehicles could make the cars silent killers.
I suggest the Three Stooges version of "Three Blind Mice" playing on continuous loop.

I'm sorry, but your comment about "Three Blind Mice" is wildly insensitive and inappropriate.
"Three Visually Impaired Rodent-Americans" is acceptable.
I think this is a way for the smugness-prone hybrid drivers to make sure that blind people know how superior they are to other less ecologically driven types.
