pedal misapplication

Pedal misapplication and unintended acceleration: pressing the accelerator when intending to brake, pedal confusion errors, sudden acceleration incidents, their overrepresentation among older drivers and in parking maneuvers, and vehicle or pedal design factors in pedal error. The specific pedal-error phenomenon, distinct from braking_response (normal braking performance) and from human_error_taxonomy (error theory in general).
