Where are the accelerator and brake located in an automatic transmission car?

[MacCarmen]

In an automatic transmission car, both the accelerator and brake are located beneath the feet. The accelerator is on the right side, while the brake is immediately to its left, and both are controlled by the right foot. When operating the brake or accelerator, the body requires support to maintain balance. As the right foot presses the pedals, the left foot can stabilize the body by resting firmly on the floor. If both feet were placed on the brake and accelerator separately, they would be in a semi-suspended state without a stable point of force, which could easily lead to unsteady operation of either pedal. In emergency situations, having both feet positioned on the brake and accelerator might result in incorrect judgment, such as mistaking the accelerator for the brake. Assigning control of both pedals to a single foot reduces this risk and also decreases the vehicle's lateral slip coefficient when braking while the accelerator is engaged.
