Recently, Lotus has been inspired to devise a system that can recreate the sound of a normal car. This is because of the disenchantment of the world in relation to the difficulty in hearing a car coming especially while crossing the street. This concern has raised the problem of it becoming mandatory for hybrid vehicles despite its being preferred by TV gangsters for drive-by shootings.

The car runs very silently when it is driving on electric power alone. According to a transport Ministry official, people agree that hybrid vehicles are dangerous especially to the vision impaired that relies on sounds while walking. Thus, a panel composed of scholars, vision impaired groups, consumers, police and the automobile industry has been created by the Japanese government to look into this matter. One solution is to create a device for creating sound to ensure that people can hear a vehicle coming. Lotus’ breakthrough called Safe and Sound, has this attribute and is now available in the market. Nevertheless, no hybrid vehicles have made use of it. Photo gallery after the jump!
