The Lab is building a new driving simulator, and Summer has been assigned the task of testing the real car pedals that are about to be attached to sensors to interface them to the computer. She's brought along four pairs of sandals - two each high and low-heeled, and uses them to mash the pedals all the way down, assess their resistance and placement, and generally give it a "dry" test run. While the brake is a little disconcerting without its load cell to limit travel and simulate hydraulic pressure, the accelerator and clutch are very realistic. Keep checking back with us to follow the pr...
