Is that how some launch control systems work in automobiles?
On the day-to-day I agree its probably not common but I also am not sure I would want a system that decides to not apply acceleration. Too many edge cases in the real world to try and determine what the user would want. Not bad UX but very bad hardware design/QC for having a pedal cover that is just attached with some clips
- user_7832 3y agoIsn't launch control starting from start though? This incident sounds like they were already driving.
- infecto 3y agoSure, but again the issue is not the behavior of the input systems. It would be near impossible to design a system as you describe. Overriding human behavior is especially difficult, especially a decision of when to allow accelerator input or not.
- user_7832 3y agoHonestly I think other solutions would be possible if manufacturers cared enough. Easy solution: pressure plate that measures which part of the pedal is getting pushed. Floor mats/loose pedals press on the bottom, humans press at the top. Fancy but probably excellent when functioning solution: Use computer vision to detect foot position using camera(s) down there. Maybe IR lighting too. There's more possible ways but I think you get what I'm trying to say.
