Car companies have spent years trying to make their vehicles quieter – but as many companies have found out, quieter isn’t always better. Many drivers became concerned that other drivers could not hear them coming on the highway, and that pedestrians would not hear them, either.

In order to alleviate this problem, Nissan’s luxury brand, the Infini, is releasing a car with a built-in noise system. The 2012 Infiniti M35h, the Infiniti’s first “in-house-developed hybrid”(from an article with the Detroit Free Press), will be the first to have this warning system. Called the Approaching Vehicle Sound for Pedestrians (or VSP), the system starts working “from start-up to approximately 20 m.p.h.”

Initially, this system was only going to be installed in solely electrical cars, not hybrids. Some vehicles that may implement the system include the new electric Nissan Leaf. The article claims, “…Infiniti wants to underscore how quiet the new M is by having the warning system when the car goes on sale early next year.”
