  • It’s not an emergency brake because it isn’t. All breaks failing on your car at the same time is statistically and technically almost completely impossible unless you ignored loads of very obvious warning signs. You’re going to notice leaking hydraulics waaayy before the breaks become useless for example.

    Now that I think of it, making it an electronic system might actually be because of people like you. Because if you lose control of the car and panic thinking your brakes don’t work, folks might pull that “emergency brake” and lose all traction and make things way worse. That is if the cable is even able to bring a speeding car to a stop, which it wasn’t engineered for in the first place.

    But if it makes you feel safer, enjoy your bliss. I just hope for everyone’s sake you focus on steering the car to safety instead of pulling the parking brake if you ever lose control of a car.
