It's not enough to say 'Blind people should be more careful' that's not a solution. Even other people who just aren't paying attention, it happens to everyone. Humans depend on sound for survival, a silent car is unnatural. So it's the car that needs to be made safe for humans, not the other way around. Anyway, this car looks awesome. They should make it talk, like KITT. Volt: "Michael, there is a Blind person crossing in front of us, shall I slow down?" Michael "Hit the turbo boost!"

Maybe a bailout??? Long live "der diesel-motor"!

The latest figure that I have heard is that they hope to come to market between $30 and $40K. Most people that I talk to think that these new estimates will give way to even pricer ones before this product makes it to the market. That is $20K to $30K more than a traditional gasoline powered automobile (that can get as much as 30 or 40 miles to the gallon). We can buy a lot of gas for $20 thousand not to mention the extra cost for electricty and new batteries.
