The most common method of accelerating and decelerating a car is through the usage of pedals. The gas pedal is the primary method used to accelerate the car whereas the brake pedal is used to decelerate the car. However another method by which a car can be accelerated or decelerated is by changing gears in the transmission. This method is commonly employed by racing drivers in order to maximize the performance of their car. Furthermore advanced vehicles may utilize a combination of engine braking and regenerative braking to slow down.
