Is this the right way to go about automobiles (Part 3)

This time, it is a mistake of stepping on the gas pedal and brake.
This is another example of how serious accidents continue to occur due to the negligence of automobile manufacturers and the national government (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism), despite the fact that the technology has already been put to practical use.
There is no end to the number of cases of elderly people and women "panicking after a sudden acceleration and stepping on the accelerator pedal as hard as they can, thinking it was the brake. They fall from multilevel parking lots, killing themselves or those unlucky enough to be underneath them. Sometimes, unfortunately, the victim is one's own child or grandchild.
It may be thought that there are sudden acceleration control systems such as radar assist, but these systems are only effective in the forward direction and do not work when backing up. And it would be disastrous if the driver is unaware that the shift lever is in reverse.
The reason for this is that both the brake and accelerator pedals require the same "stepping on" action. Moreover, both pedals are so close to each other that it is almost as if they are asking you to step on the wrong foot.
The "small failsafe" of not being able to step on the brake without releasing the accelerator pedal, since both pedals are operated with the same right foot, is completely useless against a human being who is the "source of failures" that have caused panic (programming and operational errors).
The current pedal position has been common in the mass production of automobiles, and its basic form has remained unchanged up to the present day. Until automatic transmission vehicles became widely available, the driver's attention (especially those with inferior skills) was focused on the clutch pedal while making adjustments (half-clutch), and not on the accelerator pedal.
However, now that manual transmission vehicles are an option, how about the fact that there is no such device at all?
Some companies, such as NARUSE KIZAI (Tamana City, Kumamoto Prefecture), are boldly taking on this problem.

The essence of the problem may be that the "national government" is not very motivated.
There seems to be little awareness among politicians and bureaucrats of the most essentially important aspects of "security," such as building a Japan in which small and medium-sized businesses are strong and protecting human life and property.
