Was listening to a radio discussion regarding electric cars and safety.  Electric cars don't make noise, which the gov't has determined to be unsafe to other cars and pedestrians.  There is talk of having electric cars "hummm" down the road with an artificial engine sound. 

If no sound is dangerous, makes sense that a lot of sound is less dangerous!

Sounds good to me.  Would be cool to cruise down the street in a little electric car that sounds like a nicely breathing HEMI.  You could probably have your choice of sound.  You could have the car sound like hot rod or a jet engine.
