1 pedal and stop lights

[timbop]

I've experienced this as well. But I think we're both talking out of our ass.

Let's just say you're both better at judging the deceleration of 1PD than you think. I often either have to hit the accelerator or the brake to get to the line

Many times thinking.... will it stop will it stop .... and yes most of the time it stops right before the stop or red light, but I think it has more to do with the curve of the 1-PD deceleration

And your skill - subconscious or otherwise

I actually consider it a challenge to gauge exactly when to remove the foot and stop at the right spot. Sometimes I end up having to give it a little juice to make up the difference, others I have to engage the break, but most times I am right on. It's an artform to become one with the pedal ?

definitely

If you turn the steering wheel this increases the braking, I have done few tests to see how the 1PD handled 90 degrees left/right turn

How do the drivers next you you feel about that?

I've had the same thought. It consistently just stops at the line at stop lights in 1PD without me knowingly doing anything special. I'm sure it's just that I've trained myself exactly when and how to pull off of the pedal to get it to stop where I want but it feels like it might be helping a bit.

The force is strong with you

That's ok. Think how boring the internet would be if people didn't talk out of their ass.

Yep, scrubbing the tires like a Nascar driver will slow you down more quickly. My family doesn't find this near as fun as I do.

nah really, It appears that the 1-PD slows down a bit more if you stop driving straight

I really think there is some logic behind all this

Pretty sure that when there is a red light or a stop sign/marking the cars slows more that when there is nothing

Maybe, but I’m hoping Ford is stepping up their game and implanted this feature recently.

as a previous poster mentioned - stopping at stop signs and lights, i have a high success rate so far, but i feel i have just adapted through experience to let off at the right distance without thinking about it

Have also come close to cars stopping suddenly even with auto braking ... i have reacted and slammed the pedal, being too close to trust the system.

the one that wakes me up sometimes is being on cruise entering town and having a gap big enough for the car to want to accel to highway speed. operator error of course.

i dont believe the system is advanced enough yet to trust anything.

Yes. Ramming into the back of another car is a problem I’ve experienced myself.
For the judgement thing. I tried letting off a bit later than usual and it still stopped at the line.

Perhaps, but there are pedestrians who will certify that my car does NOT always stop before the line ?
