Absolutely. I think the fact that BMW made a car with only an accellerator and no brake pedal is a major safety hazard. I simply cannot believe they got approvals from the government to release such a dangerous vehicle! On a serious note, the reason that Teslas use the brake pedal like an ICE...

Don't call me a criminal, but I drive with traffic speed. Could be over the speed limit, could be under. You can be driving the speed limit and be a menace to those around you--difference in speed causes accidents. And if you're worried about a ticket, just don't be the fastest one, simple. In...

I thought the brake lights stay on. You confirmed they don't? I seem to recall checking they did, but that was early on, it's possible that was changed with a later software update. Still, that doesn't seem like a valid reason from a design standpoint--the computer should be able to smooth all...
