[CT-NFB] FW: Let's establish safe sounds for quiet cars

Thu Oct 24 20:00:22 UTC 2019

Just to be clear, this is an initiative being promoted by Kim Charlson, and the NFB has yet to make an official statement.

I serve on the NFB committee on automobile and pedestrian safety, and we are talking about it within the committee now.

Will you take 2 minutes today to help make the world a safer place for people who are blind and visually impaired?

Dear Amy,

Will you take 2 minutes today<https://perkins.cmail20.com/t/d-l-xtijjhd-ykdrjyyhdt-t/> to help make the world a safer place for people who are blind and visually impaired?

Help us advocate to establish a consistent, recognizable sound for hybrid and electric cars.

Quiet, green cars are here to stay but they do pose one danger: silence. For anyone who can't see a car coming, they can be deadly. Sounds emitted by hybrid and electric vehicles should be clear, consistent and immediately recognizable.

Car makers are lobbying for a new rule allowing people to choose a custom sound for their silent vehicles. And while this is a creative idea, it will be inconsistent and confusing -- and therefore dangerous.

Add your voice to Perkins' comment submission<https://perkins.cmail20.com/t/d-l-xtijjhd-ykdrjyyhdt-i/>. We will use your comments to tell the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that we want a consistent, clear and recognizable sound for silent cars now -- the public comment period closes on November 1.

Let's make green cars safer<https://perkins.cmail20.com/t/d-l-xtijjhd-ykdrjyyhdt-d/>

On behalf of everyone at Perkins, thank you for joining us in making the world an accessible and safe place for everyone.

Sincerely,
