Is it an accelerator? Or is it a jerk pedal? Technically the gas pedal controls the change in acceleration, right?

I definitely have friends

No, if there is constant pressure on the accelerator, there is a constant acceleration on the car.

The jerk comes with the rate of change of pressure on the pedal (e.g. if you stomp on it)

That would make the driver the jerk ๐Ÿค”
