Every car with OPD I've been in also had an option for a more typical "coasting" style, where you need to use the brakes. I've been driving cars extensively for 22 years, and picked up one pedal driving during the test drive of my EV. 4 years later with 95% of my miles done using OPD, the urge to smash the brakes is still there if I need to stop quickly. Having said that, I have no idea how new drivers who spend 100% of their time on OPD will handle actually-using-the-brake situations.
- peeters 3y agoGive me an idea of how often you'd hit the brake pedal while trying to use one pedal. A few times an hour? Week? I feel like if it's a regular enough thing the natural impulse would be there for new drivers too, but if it's something you're doing every couple months, probably not.
- oh_sigh 3y agoI'd say, maybe once or twice per hour of driving around town on local roads. Essentially just when someone in front of me brakes hard.
- jessriedel 3y agoBut what's the benefit over peeters's suggestion, which to me seems strictly better?
