With respect to "stopping distance", in the Michigan Police Cruiser study,
they controlled for identical deceleration (thus identical stopping
distance) and measured pedal force.

This is a different test than applying a uniform pedal force and measuring
stopping distance.

I'm not sure how to extrapolate that information to stopping distances.
