Electric braking is obviously a good thing, but im not sure it is good enough for panic braking situations. That is where i was proposing we "perfect" electronic braking, it would also provide an even better abs system.

For safety reasons, a car would still (obviously) have to have a mechanical brake anyway. "Emergency" brake, if you will.

No sense in getting silly about it. You can't build a perpetual motion machine either, but does that mean there's no alternative to a gas-sucking 400 cubic inch V8? |

I just have a passionate hatred for the word "can't". Anything is possible, just the effort involved that needs changed.
