Back in the day, I drove manual transmission cars and said that only people with manual transmissions were "drivers", anyone with an automatic was just a "steerer".
I now drive a Bolt EUV with one pedal driving, meaning that if I lift up on the accelerator pedal, it starts regenerative braking. It's a lot less complicated than using a stick but it's almost as fun.
Driving a regular car without one pedal driving now seems dangerous because the car keeps coasting when I lift my foot off the pedal instead of slowing down.
I also use adaptive cruise control a lot so that the car is speeding up and slowing down as the car in front does. It really reduces the stress of bumper-to-bumper driving.
In my case (Tesla Model 3) releasing the accelerator results in immediate and significant braking, down to a complete stop of the car. Whereas an ICE will apply a mild engine brake and keep going.
