The whole "pas pedal" becomes faster/slower (one pedal driving) is coming to an end. Its being banned as default in the world's largest EV market (and largest EV export country).

Huh, that's interesting. Apparently China will be banning cars from having one-pedal driving as the default.

Losing muscle memory of pressing the brake pedal. Makes sense, actually.

I'm curious what you mean? I'm fairly confident the post you are responding to was only talking about newer transmissions. Which, I can't imagine those are going away?

The post is talking about most people drive with BEV , which is one pedal driving. My Tesla does one pedal driving my default.

China has banned "one pedal driving" as a default.

I took it to be people that are far more aggressive with the gas pedal than they really need to be. That is, it was more the heavy foot than it was letting off to brake.

Regardless, your point stands. People that have gotten used to not directly using brakes to indicate you are slowing down is a dangerous thing with how reliant we are on the standard indications that you are slowing. All the more so if you need to rapidly lose a ton of speed, where even regenerative brakes often fall back to friction.

Most, if not all, EVs will light up the brake lights when you're slowing via regen braking as long as the deceleration rate is above a certain threshold. I know my Tesla does.

		This addresses the signalling to the people behind you problem. You still should have the foot nearer the brake so that you can fully stop, if you need to do so rapidly. Emergency brake systems probably help a lot with this problem, of course. Still seems wise to follow some of the older practices that we used to drill into people.

So you just type in the speed you want and hit enter?
