Another advantage to your wife with the Kona, is once moving, much of the breaking can be carried out either automatically by turning on the Auto Recuperation function, and also by using the paddles on the steering wheel. Also, the cruise control, once set (You have to be moving to engage) will automatically start and stop the car, and can be restarted on the steering wheel. Basically, she’ll need modifications to initially pull away, but after that, she should be able to let the car drive itself using cruise and the flappy paddles.
