Soon, drivers will not only be able to change gear manually, but will also increasingly question the use of the brake pedal or only use it in emergencies. Otherwise, "one pedal driving" is the order of the day. When you lift your foot, the (electric) vehicle decelerates almost as powerfully as with normal braking, depending on the setting.
And just as we could hardly have imagined 50 years ago that a numeric keypad would one day take over the function of the dial, we can hardly believe today that the brake pedal, steering wheel or other modern-day controls will one day disappear. And the more the controls of future cars change, the more difficult it will be for future generations to drive the cars of yesterday and today. Progress cannot be stopped ...
