    but the hydraulic brake pedal is still capable of slowing a car to a stop.

    Now do brake seal failure or brake line rupture.

    Sorry dude, brake by wire is 25 years old, it’s found on every plane and F1 car and on road cars since 1999. They system is better and more reliable.

      Yeah! F1 cars and airplanes do it! Y’know, those vehicles that have certified mechanics double checking and repairing the systems literally every time they get used.

      I’m not saying brake by wire is unreliable, but that’s just about the worst example you could give for reliability.
