Rule Proposed Saying Electric Vehicles Need To Be Louder
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) wants cars to be louder. Well, just electric cars. The NHTSA is proposing a law that would require electric cars to make a detectable sound when travelling less than 18 miles per hour so they can be heard by bicyclists and pedestrians.
The Seattle Times has the details on the so called 'Quiet-Car Rule.'
