National Federation of the Blind wants louder hybrid cars

Toyota Prius
Gas-electric hybrid vehicles use less gasoline, which saves you money and saves the planet a little bit. They also happen to be much quieter than cars that run on gasoline, which is an added bonus. You know, unless your someone who relies on your ears to hear when a car is coming.

The National Federation of the Blind is lobbying for noisier cars. They're asking state, national, and international governments to pass regulations that would set sound standards for vehicles. Maryland, Virginia, and Hawaii are all considering legislation that could lead to louder hybrid vehicles.

If these laws are adopted, car makers could be forced to install technology in electric and hybrid vehicles that would artificially cause noise.
