An apparatus for preventing an erroneous operation of an electro-motion
pedal device in an automobile and methods of use thereof, wherein an
engine starting condition, positions of a shift lever and a parking brake
activated condition are detected. When a safe condition of a non-moving
automobile is detected, power is transmitted to an electro-motion pedal
device to allow the pedal to be electronically adjusted, such that an
erroneous operation of an electro-motion pedal device that might occur
during an automobile in operation can be prevented to thereby avoid an
accident in advance.
