These days they can reasonably expect to have cycles and scooters
too.

When reversing out of my drive, I cannot see a pedestrian on the
footpath, as the footpath is obscured by my hedge (which I imagine is
the case with a lot of driveways), hence it's up to the pedestrian to
hear the car. When people all have quiet electric cars, this could
be a
problem.

No it is up to you,you should remove the hedge or devise some method of
ascertaining that the way is clear.

50% of houses do not have a clear view.

Then they should have or at least discrete mirrors each side of the
driveway.

What, 50% of people in the UK install a mirror, how impractical and
utterly over the top.

Totally practical and a helpful aid. Either that or lower the obstacle.
