There is a drive in people in adopting automatic transmission than the manual ones. More and more people are wanting to buy a car that has an automatic transmission cause people want their drives in the traffic and else where-smooth!
After the coming of the automatic transmission the three pedal system turned to two, but what if this get to just one pedal. Yes! all you need is one pedal to drive your vehicle.
Well! Nissan is working on the mechanics for the implementation of such an idea. A pedal that could function both as an accelerator as well as for applying the brake.
Nissan seems to be ahead of us and has announced that it will equip the upcoming second-generation Leaf electric vehicle (EV), set to make its world debut on September 6, 2017, with what it calls the ‘e-pedal’
The e-pedal is actually your accelerator pedal which at the flip of a switch slows your car down whenever needed.The e-pedal interprets the way you lift your foot off the accelerator to slow the car down accordingly.
The reason for debuting this on the Leaf would be that on electric vehicles the electric motors are also largely responsible for braking duties and would blend into one seamless and efficient operation.
This effectively means that you can drive the car with just the accelerator pedal. Nissan highlights that the e-Pedal will turn out to be convenient and can cover 90 per cent of driving needs. Pretty impressive, isn’t it?
