Why may pedestrians be at risk when walking near hybrid and electric vehicles?

• They are generally faster than most other vehicles
• They are not subject to standard speed limits
• They are nearly silent while operating

  "Hybrid and electric vehicles are known for their quiet operation, which can make them less noticeable to pedestrians, especially when compared to traditional vehicles with louder engines. This lack of noise can pose a risk to pedestrians who may not hear these vehicles approaching."
