Where are the accelerator, clutch, and brake located?

Accelerator, clutch, and brake positions: Automatic transmission cars have only two pedals, from left to right, they are the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal. Manual transmission cars have three pedals, from left to right, they are the clutch pedal, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal. Normally, the left foot controls the clutch, while the right foot controls the brake and accelerator. The purpose of the brake is to decelerate, either to reduce speed or to bring the vehicle to a stop. The principle of braking is to convert the kinetic energy of the car into heat energy and dissipate it. The kinetic energy comes from the power provided by the engine, which requires fuel combustion to generate. In other words, every time you press the brake, it means a little bit of gasoline is wasted.
