Oh, so just tapping the accelerator makes it continuously accelerate? I know that electric cars operate slightly differently, but I agree this seems absurdly dangerous.

    I've only ever seen it set up as a tap-and-release on the brake (or on the wheel cluster + attention warning) before (both feel really sketchy, btw. Do not love that feature.) - if what I read is accurate about how this functions in the Omoda cars and it really is tapping the accelerator, I cannot fathom how someone could be so dumb as to design that.
