    My car has a valve where you might lose some wheels but not all with a line failure. It’s better than nothing. The parking/emergency brake is a manual cable. Don’t know how that is implemented in this new system either.

    Most vehicles have some form of dual braking system as a fail safe. Random internet image…

      But this is the same as just having a split electrical circuit to a brake-by-wire solution. It’s only a pseudo-redundant system because you still rely on a single type of mechanical connection to brakes.

      In addition to that a lot of parking brakes if not electronic are all cable and linkage actuated, not that actuating the rear brakes is as useful as the fronts but it’s better than nothing. Or just jam it in 1st or R and kill the engine before u dump the clutch and make the inside parts become outside parts 😂 I’ve been in a truck doing 20 when it windowed the block and I about shit a chicken when all 4 locked up
