The accelerator and brake pedals are the same. Although in many cars the maximum jerk via the accelerator seems quite limited.

Jerk is also what triggers car/motion sickness. So for the comfort of your passengers, move the controls slowly. Roller coaster designers know this well and I think they even consider fourth and fifth derivatives when designing coasters.
