Acceleration Control for Pedal Error (ACPE) – What it is, and why it matters

Car accidents don’t need to be high-speed to be deadly. In recent years, more and more pedestrians have been injured or killed by cars that were standing still just a second earlier – launched forward by a driver’s moment of confusion.
