[Quietcars] Quiet vehicle warning sounds

[michael townsend]

And that's all you're going to get because you are not involved with the
project, nor are the manufacturers of cars nor writers of laws concerned
with students or anyone knowing what's going on, to be frank about it., 

It's a sad world that says  people don't care, but them's the true words.
 


There are no new sins; the old ones just get more publicity.

There was little to no information about the implementation of this device
in a technical since available. Lots of legal stuff, and laws, and reams of
paperwork from the NHSTA, but only a press release or two from the auto
manufactures.
