The vehicle malfunctions in fail safe mode.
The electric vehicle has a gas pedal.
This story makes my head hurt.
Charming.
I have a 2017 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid and I have had this happen to me a couple of times.
Hit the brake and I kicked the gas pedal hard to get out of it.
Didn’t think twice about it. I use cruise control a lot. Don’t know if it has anything to do with anything.
Is that oxymoronic or just moronic?
I want it to shoot sparks and bolts, knocking cars out of the way as it cruises.
Is this the company that is ceasing development on ICE cars?
I once had a motorcycle that did that. It was quite a thrill.
EV gas pedal?
One of the liabilities of drive by wire. If the servo opens the throttle you accelerate, no matter what the pedal is doing.
Drive by wire cars acting up again. In the old days the gas pedal had a mechanical cable between the gas pedal and the throttle body. NO computer screw-ups allowed.
Simple solution: delete the “fail-safe mode.”
