Project Proposal: Silent Hybrid - Tami Le

On Feb. 25, 2010, the Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act reached 200 cosponsors. The bill was introduced by the National Federation for the Blind on Jan. 28, 2009. Its purpose is to protect blind people (and pedestrians) from injury and death due to silent vehicle technology of hybrid cars. Accidents caused by silent cars has been an issue since 1996 but the a bill has still not been passed. I would like to get sound bites of of a normal car and a hybrid car and interview pedestrians, runners, blind people, and maybe someone from the NFB. I might do it via video but I feel that having it all on audio might have a better effect. Running time: 4 minutes
