>his car has more than 1 pedal smdh welcome to the future, /o/

>>17567151
The Chevy Bolt has a flappy paddle on the left side. It turns on the regen braking and commands how much you get. Allowing you to stop the car fully with out the brakes in some situations. allowing for 1 pedal driving.

What's the point of this? Are two fucking pedals really too inconvenient to keep up with?

Holy fuck this triggered me so much. I feel like this would fail and cause accidents.

>>17567166
it is to get people to use regen braking as much as possible. instead of using the conventional brakes that waste energy. To squeeze that few extra miles out of the battery's range.

>>17567166
It still has a brake pedal.

>>17567151
i hope nissan and the rest of the companies renault has been assraping all go under and get bought by people that actually want to make interesting cars rather than 50 psi .9l shitbox version 162 and boring so fucking angry cuckover mark 412

>ease up on the pedal to slow down
retarded american drivers only know how to stomp on the brake pedal like mongs

>>17567271
the brakes aren't being used. It is regen braking control.

Its actually pretty difficult to slow down in an auto without using brakes.
I can see your argument if you're talking about a manual transmission because you can just gear down to slow down.

>>17567271
The car still has hydraulic brakes.

>>17567151
i like Nissan because they aren't scared of new technology, and they don't give a flying fuck about what people think about them

>>17567271
Nissan was first (and only) one to make fully electronic steering,
so you can bet your ass they will be first to use electro-mechanical brakes.
and they will put all their tech into R36 GT-R

>>17567403
Does that really have noticeable deceleration? I always wished cars could have engine brakes. The whole "let off the pedal to slow down" is actually the best thing in the world when you get used to it, and doesn't waste brake pads.

Nissan does it again!

>>17567313
Not that hard to trust them. Even citroen had a steering system in cx and xm models that had no mechanical connection from steering wheel to the wheels.

>>17567839
It basically turns the wheels into huge electric generators. Work from the moving car gets turned into juice for the batteries and it does wonders to slow the vehicle down. The KERS is used in many racing circuits because the energy from the regenerative braking system can be stored and released in a burst once it's time to accelerate but it can never fully replace the traditional braking system.

So they're reinventing engine breaking?

Then program the car to use Regen braking on light braking.

>>17568040
Most motorcycles have really strong engine braking like this. It can be annoying if your wrist gets itchy and you need to scratch it, especially if there is someone behind you.

They should make the e-pedal drastically wider, so you can operate it with both leg ends and a stick. this would allow to relaxe one leg by using the other leg available or the stick.

>>17567166
>What's the point of this?
You can do things the hard way, or you can do things the easy way and focus on things that are more important to you, like tending to your kid in the car-seat, dancing to your favorite music, gossiping with your friend on your phone, or contemplating life, existence, and the universe.

It's that time again. You don't even have to make fun of them, they do it themselves.

im going to buy the very first model car nissan brings out with this, run into a wall, and immediately sue them because it didnt stop the car in time. ill use the millions of dollars i get making my NEET dreams come true!

>>17569327
$500 says it comes standard with automatic braking systems as cars these days often do.

Also their lawyers are far, far beyond yours. If you think you can lay even a finger on a big corporation you're silly.

>>17567151
My electric scooter has that as well since I programmed it to do so, if I release the throttle, it recuperates and charges its batterys.
If I press a button that increases.

Still has disc brakes though...
