Where are the accelerator and brake in an automatic transmission car?
1 Answers
In an automatic transmission car, the accelerator is on the right and the brake is on the left. Automatic cars only have an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal. Here is some additional information about automatic transmission cars: 1. The brake and accelerator are controlled by one foot. The right foot operates both the brake and accelerator. This design is for safety reasons, as it increases safety by preventing confusion in emergency situations when people tend to panic. 2. When pressing the brake or accelerator, the body needs support to maintain balance. When the right foot is on the pedal, the left foot can stabilize the body on the floor. If both feet were placed on the brake and accelerator, they would both be in a semi-suspended state with no stable point of support, leading to instability when pressing either pedal.
