Most people can apply enough good sense to look both ways before crossing the street! Those that can't see are forced to use controlled crosswalks, but sighted people get hit in those all the time as well. Many cars generate most of their noise from tire friction on pavement... they make so little noise until they are already on top of you that they are no safer than a Prius in that regard.
