This is in relation to the modelling of pedal input([itex]\theta[/itex]) to vehicle velocity 'v' by using controllers.
In this video() the teacher says that humans accelerate the car NOT by sensing the pedal angle([itex]\theta[/itex]),but rather by sensing the change in the pedal angle over time([itex]\frac{d \theta}{dt}[/itex]).
I do understand that in daily drives I wouldn't relate 20kph to 10 degrees in pedal angle,but why is it easier to relate 20kph to pushing the pedal 10degrees/1sec in my brain?
*Pushing the pedal 10degrees/1sec just relates to the acceleration of the car and not the velocity.The video gives the output as the velocity.Is he wrong?*
Can someone explain it to me in a more simpler sense?
