We should protect everybody from the need to turn one's head and/or look up from the phone. Since everything else out there

trains not at a crossing
a truck rolling town a hill
a falling anvil
an angry bear
a hungry bear
a grumpy bear
a poked bear
a curious shark
an everyday Humboldt hellspawned squid

..all make noise to remind human-shaped prey to look up from the phone and avoid danger, the Chevy needs to fall in line.

In a world where we need to remind people "do not use hot iron like a telephone", we need our blissfully silent things to make noise.

Yeah, those blind and visually impaired people should look up, look around and visually paying attention to their surroundings.

Bunch of assholes who aren't watching out for silent cars!
