We managed to make it through nearly an entire century of the automobile without parking-assist, radar cruise, lane-keep assist, and now a freaking accelerator nanny? If people want to drive greener, then leave it to them to decide to accelerate slower when they're able, yet still be able to haul ass if it's life-or-death necessary. Please auto companies, stop making it even easier for people to drive while dicking around with their iPhones. What ever happened to KNOWING HOW TO DRIVE???

Lighting up an indicator in the instrument cluster should be the most the car can do to tell you how to save gas. That’s unnecessarily intrusive.

It didn't say anywhere it was an option, what it said was,"it will be available the beginning of next year in some Nissan branded vehicles". Those "some" Nissan vehicles will be whatever they decide to put it on! You better reread the post.

I don't want force feedback on my gas pedal like it's some sort of video game. Who is going to be the one deciding how much accelleration is necessary? I hate it when other drivers take 5 minutes to get up to the speed limit. Say no to electronic nannies! So what if I have to floorboard it to merge onto the interstate or get out of a bad situation?
