Advocates for the blind argue that hybrid cars endanger lives
Suzanne Collins of CBS reports that hybrid cars place the blind at a higher risk for injury in pedestrian accidents. The National Federation of the Blind said it is very concerned about any law that would require more hybrid and fuel efficient cars be sold because those cars make very little noise.
"For blind people we use the sound of the traffic not only to determine when to cross the street, but to navigate, and hybrid vehicles are silent," said Chris Danielsen from the Federation of the Blind."
