Remember when blessed silence was a GOOD thing? Well, not anymore. Apparently, those treehugging Prius drivers have been inadvertently mowing down pedestrians in their path from Starbucks to Pilates, so GM is talking to the National Federation for the Blind about how they can add a level of noise pollution to electric cars.

Opel has come out with a range-extended electric police car (a plug-in hybrid, like the Chevy Volt) for the European market. The advantage of electric police cars, according to the report, is that they can be silent and sneaky.

Electric cars don't use any gas (except for the Chevy Volt), but now legislators in three states, including mine, are trying to figure out how to make up the money they're going to lose on the gas tax we're not paying. Their idea for figuring out how to tax you for miles driven?
