In 2026, Euro NCAP points will be deducted if some controls aren't physical.

    Sometime soon they’ll hide the “break” function in some sub-menu of the “speed” tree, to replace the break pedal.

      Hopefully you meant brake instead of break.

      You haven’t heard of One Pedal driving, have you?

        And the insane thing is that some (most? All?) models with it don’t light the brake lights when slowing!

          TLDR : The US doesn’t have regulations on the maximal allowed deceleration before brake light activation. But the EU does.

          Seem to be mostly a Hyundai/Kia thing that they are currently fixing.

            TLDR: The US requires brake lights to activate when deceleration is intended.

        Can you do an emergency break with one pedal driving? I don’t think so

          Dump the accelerator. That’s how you slam the breaks with single pedal driving

          One pedal driving does not disable the brake pedal.
