I don't get why this needs to be in the accelerator pedal. Wouldn't it make more sense in the first stages of the brake pedal? (I haven't driven one of these.) Ordinarily, you want to be able to let a car coast, and single-pedal driving seems to get in the way of that? So, I kind of get it -- you have acceleration, and two braking mechanisms, which adds up to three things, and you need to come up with some natural way to expose that to the driver without giving them a billion controls to think about. So is single-pedal more about controlling a speed setpoint than about controlling acceleration? Maybe you just get used to it? The lack of brake lights does seem like a legit problem though.
