Investigation of new system for braking automobiles, using left foot for braking and right for acceleration; braking system incorporated into steering wheel was also tested; using range of subjects in study, it was found that significant reductions in braking time were achieved with system; this has interesting implications concerning safety as shorter stopping distances are thus achieved.
