Every step forward seems to have some sort of negative component. I think it's wonderful that cars can be made quieter and it is up to the public to recognise the value of this and adjust accordingly. No, I'm not blind but I do have a bad hearing disability and so am careful when out.
A few years ago Mercedes made a big step forward in their braking system. After a year it started to show up that modern Mercedes were increasingly involved in accidents. Looking more into the details they found that the majority were due to rear end shunts. What's the answer? Make brakes worse or try and get the public to adjust their driving?
