    Demented boomers in EVs will kill so many people. Imagine a 2.5 metric ton machine flying trough a T intersection straight into a home because the braindead driver slammed the throttle instead of the brakes.

      One pedal driving will become the norm. Like a go-kart you take the foot off the accelerator and the regen braking cuts in. Effectively, the brakes aren’t used a lot.

      Another change is that they accelerate so quickly that people running the red light run a real risk of being tboned by an EV.

        Yeah but once boomer ICE driving instincts wil kick in they think they have to slam the brakes and hit the accelerator when their demented brains fails them.

          I suppose you may get that far one. Plenty of people drive Dodge Rams and the like who are incompetent so a few oldies in EVs shouldn’t be a problem.
