I think they're forgetting that these hybrid cars do have drivers. It's not like they're silent metal blocks of death moving around to hit people. I don't think the danger of someone being hit is increased by the fact that the car is silent. Most people use their eyes when they drive around in parking lots, and they're not doing to drive over a poor blind fellow because he walking across the lot. And the jerks that are out there that don't watch, are just as likely to hit someone with a regular gas powered car as they are with a hybrid. And lastly I just have to say, if someone tells me I have to have a "noisemaker" on my car that I spent an extra few grands on because it's green and quiet, I'm going to be mighty upset about it. I like the idea of a world where traffic isn't loud. If that means I have to pay more attention to the road, that's fine with me.
