Abstract
An accelerator is an automobile accelerator. The accelerator includes a sensor configured to detect a force to press the accelerator. The sensor includes a flexible substrate and a resistor formed of a film containing Cr, CrN, and CrN, on or above the substrate. The sensor is configured to detect the force to press the accelerator as a change in a resistance value of the resistor.
