Variable acceleration and deceleration manual foot controller.

Aren't manual and foot mutually contradictory? It's just a foot controller.

Speaking of manual, one thing I miss off road is the dash throttle that would let you set a steady engine RPM.

What only one pedal? How do you make a quick emergency stop as opposed to a rolling stop?

Variable deceleration with that pedal as well, but still typical hydraulic brakes for heavy braking needs. 90% of the braking is done with the ‘go pedal’ though for most driving. Took about 45 seconds to get used to, do t even think about it any more.

I could not find one.

They went bankrupt a few months ago. Something about fishy activities by management. It’s a shame.

Sadly the PC evolution financial fallout of two decades ago is now coming to the EV evolution of today. In 1999 IBM lost a Billion Dollars in the PC business and turned it over China. We are already seeing old line automotive OEMs looking at taking that same path.
