[Quietcars] Prius Gets Sound Option

[michael townsend]

Mr. Hingson, although this Toyota solution seems to be a good one, there are
many caveats regarding different companies doing their own thing. It may
create confusion rather than a solid solution across the board for our
respective needs.  

Nissan has a great idea in its Leaf, which is being proven to be well
received.  We'll see what shakes out.  Let's get to the real world testing
here and see which is fantasy or fact regarding audi8o feedback from all
electric or hybri9ds here, because an agreed upon solution will not be
forthcoming for a while.

Thanks.
