A group of us was cycling a couple weeks ago, a Pious on battery passed
us too closely (dumbass driver too, imagine that), and no one heard it.
It was sorta scary and surprising, this thing just materialized right
next to us, very close. It was kind of an Ohsh** moment for all of us.
Usually whoever is in the back of the pack hears a car and hollers so we
get over to the right as far as we can, with this thing if someone had
moved over a bit to dodge something on the road, we all probably would
have been knocked down and run over. I wonder if one could sue Toyota
for something like that, since they are being sued for everything else
now -- knowing that being so quiet is dangerous, yet they have done
nothing about it.
I seem to recall that there was some harsh invective hurled at the
driver, along with certain hand gestures, not that it did any good.

A Prius owner almost back into me while walking in a parking lot yesterday,
and damn near ran me over. I really do try hard not to think of all Prius
owners as idiots, but they're not giving me much to work with.
They're always complaining about me wasting all the oil, running my
Porsche. Well they're wasting all the electricity in their "feel good but
do nothing cars", that I could be using to run my air conditioner.

BTW, elec vehicle makers are scrambling to "find," build and install noise
makers on their vehicles to improve low-speed safety for pedestrians. A
clothes pin and a playing card worked pretty good on our bikes. ;<))))
