Cool idea, it would be great if manual cars can be retrofitted also. do away with heel toe braking :)

Cool!! But think that we might get used to it after awhile. For auto cars, driving will be a breeze and especially during traffic jams, this design comes in very handy! [thumbsup]

Totally agreed [thumbsup]

I was thinking if we can drive a real car with a Playstation controller? Actually thats all its needed. Except the signal stalk.... ^_^

it's to push right with your right foot to accelerate.

 

I think it uses a whole different set of muscles which would be difficult to control and quite tiring! [laugh]

Have you seen the steering wheels of F1 cars drivers pop in after they got into their seats?

No nuts, just electronic contacts.

Drive by wire.

Happened to me once.. wanted to hit the brakes but hit the accelerator instead. Dunno what happened cos never done that before. Its probably some neural / brain mulfunction like deja vu or Involunteery muscle reactions. lol.. luckily i clutched in so never move lol..

it seems more dangerous to me to have this single pedal

Let's make life easier..since Auto tranny is so common, why don't teach everyone how to use left foot braking and making it the norm?

Would appreciate some test-driving, especially long distances to evaluate (good in theory)

Imagine those chiongsters on the NSH for 4-5 hrs, pedal to metal driving, that means the right foot/leg have to be "twisted" to push the acc lever sideway max. When they get out of their rides, all the right leg surely will wobble :o

Anyone can try at their office desk, put their right leg like driving position, and right foot push the table to the right, hold there for 1 hr.
