In an Associated Press video, blind people stood next to hybrid vehicles in a parking lot. One man asked “is that thing on now?” and when someone off-camera said it was, replied, “that’s scary.”
Two congressional representatives introduced a bill this week to study hybrid vehicles’ lack of noise, and how that can impact pedestrians. One group welcomed the bill.
“The blind, like all pedestrians, must be able to travel to work, to school, to church, and to other places in our communities without being injured or killed,” said Marc Maurer, president of the National Federation of the Blind, in a news release.
