Can someone explain why we don’t have a better design to prevent car pedal mixups? There have been so many accidents in my country with serious casualties.

because their design is fairly standard already to the point where this is not really an engineering issue anymore, its a people issue.
plus it’s not like you could make sweeping changes now if you were inlcined to, because there is just way more inertia against it: better to educate the drivers that make that mix up than ot have every single driver have ot relearn a skill that by now its basically second nature(especially if they drive for a living)
This only happens in third world countries without a proper training and licensing program.

Its binary. Either you have made the right choice or the wrong choice. It quite literally does not get simpler. You want to add 3rd and 4th options?

Funny how unimaginative people are and how easily many say change is stupid or too difficult. Pedals could be made with edges on the pedals like some race cars have, say a little wall on the right edge of the brake and the left of the throttle, so the foot doesn’t slide from one pedal to the other. People could learn to left foot brake, obviously easier for new drivers. Again, race car drivers brake with their left foot, then muscle memory will always have each foot on a single pedal.
