Sure, this is all science, no persuasion, right?
TAMANA, Japan — Two pedals, inches apart, one for gas and the other for brakes. For years, a Japanese inventor has argued that this most basic of car designs is dangerously flawed. The side-by-side pedal arrangement, the inventor says, can cause drivers mistakenly to floor the accelerator instead of the brakes, especially under stress. The solution? A single pedal that accelerates the car when pressed with the side of the foot. More to the point, when the pedal is pushed down, it always activates the brakes.
Hey, this must be true science because the story is the most emailed and viewed at the NYT!
Hey, just install this new pedal and no more human error in driving! It’s just a falling apple and remember:
You Cannot Persuade a Falling Apple.
