Calif. lawmaker: Electric cars too quiet The Associated Press Article Launched: 08/19/2008 05:17:21 PM PDT SACRAMENTO—Electric and hybrid vehicles may be good for the environment, but a California lawmaker says they're bad news for the blind. State Sen. Alan Lowenthal, a Long Beach Democrat, is pushing a bill aimed at ensuring that the vehicles make enough noise to be heard by the blind and visually impaired when they're about to cross a street. The state Senate approved the bill Tuesday on a 23-12 vote and sent it to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has not taken a position. It would establish a committee to study the issue and recommend ways the vehicles could make more noise. The recommendations would be due by 2010. . . . Bob Wilson |
