You can't have it both ways. Either drivers are pushing the pedal as hard as they can (which every single driver reports) or they aren't because they're scared.

Either way, your argument is based on a bad assumption. At full throttle in a non-super or turbocharged vehicle, there is still more than enough vacuum to assist in braking.
- blueben 17y agoAnother point I didn't mention. The Prius can detect a no-assist situation and will reroute all braking pressure to the front wheels for maximum effectiveness. So even in the extremely unlikely situation you have no regenerative braking and no vacuum assist, you can still stop the car.
