Call the go-faster pedal the "Newton's Second Law pedal", and the oops-here-comes-an-obstacle pedal the "Newton's Third Law pedal", because if you hit that thing, you'll see the third law in action. We then need a demonstration of Newton's First Law, which I think is the ignition key. We should turn it into a pedal to be consistent.
