Just saw an ad where Nissan hypes a single gas pedal/brake. Didn't catch the model name.
You push it for acceleration and let it up to brake.
I just can't imagine this a good idea on the braking side.
You push down harder for more braking. With anti-lock brakes, you hold the pedal down for a straighter stop. Your natural instincts are to push the brake pedal to the floor to stop quickly.
Maybe with familiarity it works? But I just can't, in my mind, see how this setup works well, even if you get used to it.
Opinions? Thoughts?
