Safety Agency Proposes Sound Requirements for Green Cars
Such a rule would prevent accidents and injuries, particularly among pedestrians, bicyclists and those who are visually impaired, the NHTSA said in a news release.
Under the rule proposed by the NHTSA, such vehicles would have to emit a sound at low speeds that alerts others to their presence. The sound must be loud enough to be heard above street noise and other ambient background noise.
