1 pedal driving doesn’t use brake pads to slow down your car. You still have brakes in case of an emergency, but if you’re using them enough to wear out your brake pads then you’re doing something wrong. As someone else pointed out, you’re much more likely to rust off your brake pads rather than wear them out.

I can’t help but feel if EVs were invented first, convincing people to adopt gas cars would be impossible.

• “You mean I have to take it somewhere and stand outside every time I need energy?”
• “Why do I have to put all these fluids in it? And why does it need all these filters, brake pads, and maintenance?”
• “These things are so slow, why would you ever want to drive one?”
• “What do you mean I can’t turn on the climate control anytime I want? You mean I have to wait for this thing to heat up?!”

I dunno, being in a reddit thread for a big game isn’t really much of a discussion. It’s just flowing text like Twitch chat. Exciting maybe, but I don’t think it’s all that valuable.

The same can be said about any crime though, right? If you’re found guilty of murder, they drop the alleged and you’re just a murder. If you successfully appeal, then the title is dropped.
