Brake pedal behavior: Preference?

[Hmhank]

This is from the SM patents forum. Not sure if the 'One pedal" means just one or using just one.

That's just the thing - it can be (potentially) easier. "Easier" in the sense that a single "MODE" can engage, enable, disable, activate, connect or disconnect any number of systems all at once without much effort or adjusting multiple settings. These combos can be pre-configured by Scout.

My first truck had manual locking hubs. To use 4WD you needed park the truck, get out, lock the hubs on each side, then manually shift into 4WD and choose HIGH or LOW. I was also taught that it was helpful to roll back then forward to more easily engage the drivetrain after locking. I think this just created less wear and tear mechanically in the gear box over time, but who knows.

Of course with SW and modes, all of this stuff (and more) can happen with a single switch or button press.

That’s right! This is the 4-wheel drive a MAN uses.

This is such an interesting phenomenon. I've never heard of people getting car sick simply because of one pedal driving. I'm not blaming here, but I wonder if it has to do with the operator's use of the one pedal? I easily get motion sickness. Even in ICE vehicles, I notice some drivers are either gas or brake. There's no coast. It's on the accelerator or on the brake. I have trouble with those sorts of drivers; it makes me sick. Others, however, are coasters. I have no sickness with them. If someone is a gas or brake driver, that's only going to be accentuated with one pedal because the off is really off. In order to get the "coast" you have to feather the accelerator pedal like coasters might feather the brake pedal on ICE.

I think this is exactly the issue. Your body/brain is used to coast to stop-unless emergency braking, so when it’s choppy with throttle I think it trips it

This was my first 4WD too. I still remember getting it stuck in some water and having to hang out the front off the running board so I wouldn't have to wade into the water to turn them. We've come a LONG way.

Do not forget our Lady Scouts.

I'm sure that someone like GirlScout could teach a few of the young lads here a thing or two (and do it toot sweet).
