[B10] Optimization of accelerator pedal mapping in Standard and Sport modes

The torque delivery characteristic in "Standard" and "Sport" modes is too aggressive in the initial phase of pedal travel. Due to the lack of delay typical of internal combustion engines, even a minimal foot movement generates a sudden surge in power. This causes difficulties in precisely modulating speed (especially in dense city traffic) and forces the driver to maintain unnatural tension in the foot muscles to avoid jerking. I propose introducing a more progressive torque build-up curve. Requirement: The first 5–10% of the accelerator pedal's travel range should allow for very precise and gentle power control (similar to Comfort mode). Effect: Greater responsiveness and dynamics of Sport/Standard modes should manifest in the later part of the pedal stroke, not at the very touch. This will maintain smooth driving without sacrificing the full dynamics of the powertrain when pressed harder.
