The US DOT Fast Lane blog reports NHTSA’s new sound requirement for all newly-manufactured hybrid and electric vehicles (http://bit.ly/2gHuNiY) will help pedestrians, especially those who are blind or who have low vision, detect the presence, direction and location of these vehicles when these vehicles are traveling at low speeds. US DOT estimates the sound requirement will prevent 2,400 pedestrian injuries each year once all hybrids in the fleet are properly equipped. http://bit.ly/2frxEO1
