Nissan Cars to “Push Back”
I don’t know about you, but when I drive I like to put the pedal to the metal and test the limits of the car I’m in. I like to feel that pedal hit the floor, listen to that engine lurch forward, and give it all it’s got. Of course, with gas prices being what they are and the environment being a crumbling heap of ozone and noxious air quality, I tend to lay off a bit these days.
Ever since Nissan 2007 models came out with better fuel economy, the car company has been trying to come up with something else to shift the focus and get drivers to behave themselves a little better. So when Nissan unleashes a new line of automobiles, they’ll include a gas pedal that won’t succumb to the pressures of the driver to be pushed to the floor.
In fact, Nissan is going to release a gas pedal that will push back.
Yes, you heard that right. While Nissan 2007 models featured vehicles that responded intensely to the owner’s desires, Nissan cars of the future have something else in mind called the “ECO pedal system.” This system pushes the gas pedal upward when it senses that drivers are accelerating too fast out of the gate.
It calculates the most resourceful rate of acceleration in a vehicle based on how quickly fuel is being burned and causes the gas pedal to push back to alert overzealous drivers. A special meter on the dashboard flashes and changes colors to help drive the message home.
