Noise Pollution
Actually, the quietness of the Prius is a very nice plus. I'm a cyclist and walker too, but have never been threatened by one. You can hear them moving through the air, and the tires running on the road, so I don't think they are 'soundless' at all.
Harley riders claim their bloviating tailpipes are 'safety' equipment. It has always been the fall-back argument for people who really just want to be very very loud. Again, same issue, where is the evidence of these claims?
I think noise is a greater issue than quiet, even for the deaf.
