Michael said:I can empathize with someone that may have inadvertently tried to 'start' a vehicle that was already running and hearing the grinding of the starter gear, ouch!
I agree that the greater problem is the potential concern in regards to blind persons. To aid with this, there should probably be some standard enacted which dictates some type of noise being made when a vechicle is stopped or is coming to a stop, or perhaps even up to a certain speed (to cover those times that the vehicle might be traveling in town).

Turn on your speakers and watch and listen. Especially when it stops and then starts moving again.
What is that sound?

the National Federation of the Blind (NFB), an advocacy group that is calling for all hybrid vehicles to emit a sound when turned on, and this noise needs to be loud enough to hear over ambient traffic noise.
