Well, honey, an automatic car typically has two foot pedals: one for the gas and one for the brake. Unless you're counting the one your husband keeps confusing with the gas, which is the one on the far left called the clutch. But in a standard automatic car, it's just two pedals to get you from point A to point B without breaking a sweat.

How many foot pedals does an manual car have?
A manual (transmission) car has 3 foot pedals. You use your left foot on the CLUTCH on the far left. Your right foot is used for the BRAKE in the middle and the ACCELERATOR on the far right. The harder you press the ACCELERATOR with your right foot, the faster you accelerate. The harder you press the BRAKE pedal the more pressure is applied to the brakes, slowing you down quicker. The CLUTCH pedal when pushed in far enough, will disengage the gears from the engine, allowing you to change gears. When you lift your left foot, the clutch engages the engine to the gears and will provide power to your gears, and in turn, to your wheels. And what if you have an Parking brake operated by foot and its a manual ? O-o 4 pedals !
