Why is the accelerator in a car called by this name?

The accelerator pedal in a car is called by this name because it is used to control the speed of the vehicle by increasing the amount of fuel and air flowing into the engine. This, in turn, causes the engine to produce more power and the vehicle to accelerate. The accelerator pedal is typically located on the floor of the driver's footwell and is operated by pressing down on it with the right foot.
