They should look both ways when crossing the street even if they don't hear a car(literally teach this in elementary school)
Their own dam fault and they should be at fault and owe damages walking in front of a dam car

's comment is all that requires to be taught.
A little note: I was at our mailboxes and there was an electric car that was about to leave and within an arm's reach. While opening our mailbox, the car pulled away. All that I could hear were a gust of wind and just a few pebbles moving due to the tires coming into contact with them. Some models have an autonomous acceleration that makes them far too stealthy.

I just love how many people don't understand how much fossil fuel go into the actual mining of the minerals to make the battery

^ This. And, if you have a Tesla, it is a known issue that the torque on the tires wear them out at an accelerated rate. People have to change their tires far more often for the miles/kms they drive.

Google made a solution for this. The sticky bumper with eggshell like casing. Hit and run is now hit and ride

A gentle reminder:

1. "Electric and hybrid vehicles are three times more likely to cause harm to pedestrians than internal combustion engine vehicles in urban areas, according to a study from the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health."
2. "The quieter nature of electric cars, particularly in urban areas, can make them less audible to pedestrians, increasing the risk of accidents."

"These statistics highlight the need for electric vehicles to be equipped with audible alert systems to improve safety for pedestrians."

Please, don't hit pedestrians. Scare the bejeebers* out of them by equipping your electric vehicle with an authentic 18 wheeler truck horn! (*I needed an excuse to use 'bejeebers' in a post) :blush:

IDC how many people walk, they should watch where they are walking.

I see so many peds just go from one side to the other through a parking lot. They don't scan and watch for cars, just expect them to stop.
