Is driving with one pedal possible?


On #TechnologyThursday we analyze Nissan's best inventions and technologies that were previously classified as ‘impossible'.

Did you know that Nissan has created a technology that with the flip of a switch, your accelerator in transformed into an ‘e-Pedal' or a ‘One-Pedal'1 - allowing drivers to accelerate, decelerate and stop using just that one pedal. This technology is the world's first one-pedal operation that allows drivers to bring the car to a complete stop even on hills, stay in position, and resume driving instantly.

Drivers can cover 90% of their driving needs with this function, making the process of driving more exciting. In heavy traffic and during city commutes, drivers will greatly reduce the need to shift from one pedal to the other, making your drive simpler and more engaging.

The e-Pedal technology represents another key milestone in Nissan's ongoing commitment to bring accessible, advanced driver assistance technologies to the mainstream. Set to make driving safer and more enjoyable, the development of these technologies is part of Nissan Intelligent Mobility, the company's blueprint for transforming how cars are driven, powered and integrated into society.

The fact that one pedal driving was once seen as impossible didn't stop us then, and won't stop us from daring to do the impossible now.

 

Dare the impossible. Until it's not
