That's the truth actually...there have already been reports of people getting hit by them in crosswalks - with the complaint noted afterwards by survivors that they didn't hear 'em coming. I think I've already read one report that hybrids/electrics may be required in the future to have "sound" generating devices that mimic the sound of an oncoming car for safety purposes.
Wouldn't matter for a deaf guy like me though!
