    My car already has this feature. As soon as I see a pedestrian, I push the button.

    This lowers the driver's side window, whereupon I yell, "GET THE FUCK OUTTA THE STREET, JACKASS!" as I speed by.

    Works every time.

    I am hoping this feature could be implemented on more vehicles, especially those whose default horns are as loud as the end of the whole goddamned world.

    Yes, I'm looking at you, trucks. I leap in staggered shock every time one of your bloody airhorns blast into the stratosphere and scare birds and elks and lions and tigers and elephants and cats.

    Like, seriously, do you need to?

    Oh, wait, you do, because it's all you've got. Sure, it's just about preferable to being run over by you, but I'd much rather you get a chirper or a musical horn (try James May's policecar horn) and not scare the s*** out of me.

    A stink alert would be better and contribute to a quieter serene environment. I propose a system by which Calvin Klein's Obsession would be atomized into the air alerting pedestrians to the presence of your electric silent mobile. This would also benefit the deaf and the soon to be deaf (those with headphones on).

    Now for the acronym to make it legit OFAL

    Lame. What they really need is the Jalopnik Taiwanese national anthem option. I would def tick that box, if I ever drove a Volt.

    The first company that makes an electric car that sounds like a TiE fighter will win my hard earned dollars.

    GM, you have plenty of time to fix this.

    They don't want to push the Volt engines too hard just yet. They really aren't sure if the hydrocoptic marselveins on the ambifacient lunar wainshaft can effectively prevent side-fumbling. It's only made of prefamulated amulite, you know.

    @Tanshanomi: You need to do a little Wikipedia fact checking before you hit the share button. It's actually made of postfamulated amulite, which is completely different. #chevroletvolt

    @Flathead Smith: The concept had postfamulated amulite, but to reduce production costs the version you'll be able to buy only has prefamulated amulite. I hate it when they bait-and-switch you like that.
