You haven't heard of One Pedal driving, have you?

And the insane thing is that some (most? All?) models with it don’t light the brake lights when slowing!

TLDR : The US doesn't have regulations on the maximal allowed deceleration before brake light activation. But the EU does.

Seem to be mostly a Hyundai/Kia thing that they are currently fixing.

Can you do an emergency break with one pedal driving? I don’t think so

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Dump the accelerator. That's how you slam the breaks with single pedal driving

One pedal driving does not disable the brake pedal.
